Handjammies are a pair of sawed-off palmless gloves, which protect the back of the hands whilst jamming on the route of your choice. Each glove is made of a skin-saving piece of sticky rubber with nylon loops attached for the fingers and thumb, and a velcro-ized wrist strap that secures it to your hand. They also have a few thin foam cushions glued under the rubber approximately where the knuckles should line up. 2, record 1, English, - hand%20jammie

Treatment of wrist sprains must be based on getting full use of mobility back as soon as possible... Bandaging will help if enough support is given to the wrist without restricting circulation to the fingers. You may find the wrist strap useful if you decide to continue playing with a very mild wrist injury, and as physical(and mental) support when you start to play again after a more serious wrist sprain. Many wrist strappings now available have an absorbent outer covering so that, in position, the support also serves as a sweatband wristlet. 1, record 10, English, - wrist%20support
