The Role Of A Freehand Brace

By Eliza Mendoza


Freehand Brace is basically some fabric that is worn at various parts of the hand. They could be loose or tight depending on the type. Their existence invention dates back early in history when farmers wore them to avoid blisters on their hands as they carried out their daily activities. The earlier models were only loose and had been improvised. They were generally some small rags that could be worn on the specific parts of the hand. With the current technology, they have been improved.

These pieces of rubber come in different sizes. The piece that is worn around the elbow is not the same as that which is worn around the thumb. People have different arm sizes and hence this is put to consideration. They also come in an array of colors but most people like the ones that are dull in color.

A number of companies have specialized in their production. Their high demand has led to this. They are made through a simple process. The material that is to be used is first acquired . It could be bought from producing industries. A good example of a material that is used t make them is rubber. Rubber is in two major forms. There is the hard and inelastic rubber and the softer and elastic rubber. The hard rubber is used to make shoes and sandals. It is the soft rubber that is used to make these arms fits.

After all this, the rubber is sliced into smaller sizes. The sizes depend on where the in fit will be worn. The smallest in fit are those that are purposed to be worn around the fingers. The slicing is done by machines that run on specified programs. The fixation part follows after this. The two edges of the chopped rubber are stuck using some glue. Slight melting is then done on the stuck places.

The melting is to offer strong attachment to the two edges. The melting is done by slight exposure to a regulated flame. The raw in fits are died. Basic colors are added to improve their outward appearance. They are then packed into cartons they are later sold to retail and wholesale sellers.

The in fits are then colored. The coloring is done by use of dyes. The amount of dye used is also regulated. The colors that are mostly preferred are dull colors such as grey, brown and black. Thereafter, they are packed. These are then sold to middlemen or retailers. These in fits have several advantages. They are comfortable and simple to put them in. They are adjustable and accommodate small to large sizes. The fact that the commodities are elastic ensures they can customize a fit in the scenario of a smaller or bigger finger or wrist.

They have several demerits. They easily get worn out. This is especially for people who participate in rigid activities such a playing guitars and pianos. A musician may therefore require many pieces. They are quite restrictive especially for people who have are not used to them. Rigid in fits could alter the performance of a certain activity for example writing.

A freehand Brace has more merits than demerits. It has now been recommended in the treatment of osteoarthritis. They treat this ailment by relieving the stress on bone . This allows bone remodeling to take place. However the ones used in treatment have aluminum as a component of the in fit.
