Ski thumb and wearing a thumb brace
A ski thumb is a common injury / complaint that can be treated well with a thumb brace, thumb bandage or thumb orthosis. The gamekeeper’s thumb or gamekeepers thumb are also names for the ski thumb. A ski thumb is very common and can be caused by overload or a trauma. If not immediately medically mediated, instability of the lower thumb joint (first joint of the thumb) can occur. If the ski thumb is signaled in time and a direct and good treatment of the ski thumb is used, the prognosis is good and instability can be prevented early.
What is a ski thumb?
With a ski thumb, the ligament (ligament) that can be found on the inside of the thumb rips or stretches. This ligament, together with other ligaments, ensures the stability of the lower joint of the thumb. When this ligament is damaged, the joint can become unstable. About 10% of all ski accidents involve this injury because the strap around the ski pole gives a short tug on the thumb. Hence the name ski thumb! The thumb should rest in such a situation and often also in combination with the wrist joint. A commonly used thumb brace with a ski thumb is the Thuasne ligalfex manu .
Rigid or elastic thumb braces for osteoarthritis or rheumatism
Some thumb braces cannot be used equally well in every situation. For example, there is a big difference between our elastic braces and the somewhat more rigid (stiffer) thumb braces. The CMC thumb brace from Push supports the first phalanx and is completely stiff and can be used very well for the more severe arthrosis and rheumatic complaints. The Thuasne sport thumb bandage is a bit more flexible, just like the GM medical elastic thumb splint . The last two braces are often used for somewhat milder thumb complaints. You can find the support class with each brace. This indicates how much support the brace offers to your thumb.
Wearing a thumb brace during sports?
Many athletes use a thumb brace while exercising. Volleyball is a sport in which the fingers endure a lot. The PSB thumb brace and the thuasne sport thumb brace are very suitable for use during exercise. This has to do with the elastic value of these braces.
