Hi Brian, thanks for the question and for watching! There are other brands of similar splints, however, the links for the type I am using in the video are listed in the video description above. You probably have to click "show more" to see all of the information. Let me know if I can help further :)

Hello mam.. I just want to know one thing.. I have been following your improve hand writing legibility video for my focal hand dystonia. Its improving.. Tremors are reduced 90 % the only thing frustrating me is the stiffness how it can be solved can you please tell.. I can not write still in a proper flow.. Words automatically come together and letters become small 😓😓

That’s great that tremors have reduced and handwriting legibility is improving overall! Unfortunately, I am unable to give specific recommendations without evaluating as your therapist. There are many factors to consider for why this happens and what increases or decreases the symptoms. Some people find that sensory retraining, mirror therapy, relaxation and visualization exercises, medications, and others can help but it depends on individual factors. I hope you can find an occupational therapist local to you to who can help you determine what works best for you as I cannot give specific advice. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us
