How does this wrist brace differ from a rigid orthosis, and when is it chosen? — Wrist rest 500

The card contains no comparison with a rigid orthosis. According to the card, the wrist brace is intended to support the wrist joint: it is secured with a fastener and fits tightly around the joint area, suits the right and left wrist and can be used during physical activity and sport. Composition: cotton 30%, polyester 30%, foam 40%; net weight 0.031 kg. Use: put on directly on the body, use on a doctor's recommendation. The card does not describe the degree of fixation, whether there are rigid inserts, or the situations in which it is chosen instead of an orthosis.

General information (not a manufacturer's instruction): an elastic brace gives support and compression but does not immobilise the joint; in case of a fracture, dislocation, after surgery or with severe pain and swelling, the type of fixation is determined by a doctor.
