THE WRIST

How does injure happen?

The intricate structure of joints and tendons allows all kinds of nimble movements, yet this also means that many types of injuries can result. Repeated movements or heavy loading can easily cause flexor tendons inflammation, pressure on the carpal tunnel's central nerve can result in carpal tunnel syndrome. Sudden extertion of strength often sprains wrist tendons and cause wrist fractures,radius fractures and wrist sprains. Because of the fatigue of exercise or over-activity, the wrist can suffer neuralgia and tendonities, such as in de Quervain's diseases and carpal tunnel syndrome , causing pain, numbness in the band.

 

How does LP protect you?

The wrist's complex structure of ligaments and tendons allow people to do nimble movements like grasping. The LP Sports Medicine Team actively researches wrist support and stability. Appropriate pressure applied by highly pliable material like CoolPrene can lower wrist impart caused by exercise or moving heavy item. When  muscles are weak, The wrist can become unstable. Using alestic binding tape can improve the concentration of strength, allowing the wrist to exert strength more efficiently. After an injury, bimenchanically designed wrist protection can limit the range of movement of the wrist, effectively lowering the chance of overloading during the recovery period.
