finger splint Description

Finger splints

While Steve was still able to use his fingers with the RollerMouse, his fingers started to curl. This made it difficult to use the mouse. We purchased finger splints to keep his index finger straight. This worked well, but extended use can be painful. Sheila would have to massage his fingers to relieve the stiffness and pain.

Description

I needed these splints when I could not extend my fingers on my own. They gave me a few more months of competent mouse use with my hands via the RollerMouse.
