I was wondering if any of you are using these braces and if it helps you. They put a brace on my dad for about three hours a day to try to keep them from curving more. Dad also has been getting in a sit down type bath tube that kind of has whirlpool jets. He says his legs feel great after he uses it. Kim
 
I think there was a thread on this recently. My resting splint helps me; I wear it every night. Fingers still curl, but a whole lot less. I'm sure I'd be "tightly fisted" by now, if not for the brace.

Missing the jacuzzi from our old house. Sigh.

Here's what a typical resting splint looks like.

My right hand is curled and I've just started using a hand orthosis. It hurts some when I have it put on but it's slowly helping to get it straight.
