My OT is fitting me for a hand brace to wear at night as my fingers are curling. She wants to order me a brace that has my fingers and thumb for a 'c' shape (more an oval cut in half - the brace wont be a true 'c' in that in won't curl down and let my first knuckle bend). However, all the old threads seem to show that most of you who have these braces flatten your hand rather than make this shape. Does anyone have a 'c' shape brace? I think I am going to push for the 'flat' brace as that is what seems to work for all of you. Have any of you had trouble with the flat brace? (My OT says she want me to have the 'c' brace as it's more comfortable.) I've e-mailed my dr for his input as well. Thanks, all.
