Abstract
An improved wrist support for protection against development of carpal tunnel syndrome. The support includes a body member having an upper portion and a lower portion, the lower portion having variable stretch sections for providing variable amounts of support along the wrist, hand and arm. The upper portion of the body member encircles a portion of the thumb for added support. The upper portion of the body member is constructed of neoprene for support, impact resistance and comfort. The fingers of the hand are left substantially unencumbered when the wrist support is in place about the wrist.
