• Ligament injury
• Thumb sprains
• Subluxation
• Dislocation
• Thumb instability
• Irritation
• Paralysis

Fitting the brace is designed to be easy, perfect for someone who’s struggling with pain in their thumb.

How Comfortable Is the Ottobock Thumb Brace?

The Rhizo Arexa Brace is a comfortable thumb brace that works by exerting pressure on the back of the thumb with two aluminium splints. Despite this, it is comfortable, and won’t cause discomfort during use. The lack of movement in your thumb will help to relieve pain and speed up the rate of recovery.

Can I Still Move My Hand When in Use?

The Rhizo Area Thumb Brace is designed in such a way that you get total movement of your four fingers and hand. Although you can’t move your thumb, the rest of your hand is still completely free to move how you want it to move.
