A thumb support is a type of device that can be worn on the thumb to provide support and relief. It is mainly used in cases of arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other conditions that cause pain or discomfort in the thumb.
It can also be helpful for people who have suffered a fracture or dislocation of their thumb. This type of device helps keep the broken bone stable while it heals.
Wearing thumb support can also help people with certain repetitive tasks such as typing or knitting by keeping their hands from moving too much.
