Is there stiffness in finger part to keep them from bending a bit? Looking to keep my hand from clenching while I sleep! How does it work?

No I really dont think they are meant to be stiff like that its more like the seams are causing too much fabric to bunch up at places and the bulk. It is all fabric. They may prevent some bending but wouldn't work for something significant like a seizure

There is no stiffness. The material is entirely soft, but it compresses your hands slightly. I'm not sure it would stop clenching--you can still make a tight fist in these.

I have arthritis and carpal tunnel the gloves work fine for me. I DO NOT believe the gloves will stop you from clutching your hands, they may help you from digging your nails in your hands, if that is an issue. It may not hurt to try. Good luck to you to find a solution.

according to my BF, they work wonders. he has two pairs in rotation. hes got really large hands so to his benefit, they dont reach too far past the knuckles. hope this helps. he never mentions his wrist though, just his hands.

To KSumners...........I wish I could help you with that..............I did not recieve on with the beace I purchased........but I am thinking it might be a squeeze implement to use for your fingers..........closing the fingers around......opening, closing....a type of exercise ball?? to give some therapy:) wish I had gotten one..........!!

My'n came extended. They are 22lbs force so try pushing them to see if they will compress. I am able to do it with my hands, just feels stiff, but they work fine.

I believe it gives the freedom and movement of your hands while still protecting them. They don't slide around. It just feels more like your not wearing anything. Someone else may have a better answer.

No They're pretty stiff. You might be able to extend the index finger and slightly curl the other three to hint at a point.

The fingers are molded together. It's made of made of PVC, with antibacterial Sil-a-Gel formula, so it's somewhat flexible, but it won't be floppy. Thank you for shopping with DGS Novelties!

they help with the pain but if you wear them too long your finger get stiff and doesn't move well. You are better off keeping it limber with exercise and warm or cold pack .

I would recommend giving these a try. The pain you are experiencing could be due to the fact that while doing regular pushups, your palm is flat on the floor and the angle of your wrist is extreme. With these, your wrist stays parallel with your arm, so there's no bending, thus, no stress on the wrist.

not well. they are tight on my index finger to the point it starts to ache. the rest are all ok. they stop 2-3 inches past the wrist. well worth the money despite the discomfort.

the major difference is that you you can get a sustained stretch when using them--it is hard to stretch your fingers and hold them freely for 5-10-15 minutes.

I think they are. I haven't used them for that purpose, but they are tight enough to hurt if you pinch your little finger tip with them. (Other fingers were too big to test. Hope you appreciate my willingness to suffer!)

actually it is not all about tightness which is, of course, the main reason, however, you need to adjust it 1/3 inch below your wrist joint edge (line) so that when you bend your wrist outward, it wont limit your angle which helps you use more power than you can actually use without wristband.

I bought them for my ukulele, but they were much too firm. When I tried to bend one a bit it snapped in half. I've had a classical guitar, as well, the strings are definitely thicker than a ukulele's, I think that these MIGHT work. I also don't have very strong fingernails, I used to bite them and only stopped a few years ago. But, after trying it out, I would say to grow them out a bit and shape them into rounded points. Then try picking. Your nails should eventually get stronger, and the shape really helps. It's way better than using a pick, especially for Spanish guitar. Arpeggio is nearly impossible with a pick. Whatever you do, don't give up.

For me, they work great on keyboards. Of course, you have to pull them on all the way so that there's no slack at the fingertips. I wouldn't expect anyone to have trouble pulling them on all the way even if the fingers are long, but if that's an issue cotton gloves might work better because they're stretchy. Also, the gloves are slippery, but that's OK. At first I had trouble because of reduced tactile sensation, but I very quickly got past that.

From my personal experience, you can adjust the amount of the restriction. If you use it during your sleep, it will keep your arm very close to your body, based on your adjustment..
