Wrist Supports by caffine-iv2003-01-11 08:47:41
  I've got two different brands... by thewrongcrowd 2003-01-11 09:07:58
One (the tag is long gone) was fairly cheap, but nice. The other is an AOA (All Orthopedic Appliances). A bit pricier, but more sturdily built.

With wrist supports it's very important to get the right fit: snug, but not cutting off circulation at any place in the hand or arm. And it should keep your wrist in a totally neutral position (the joint is straight, not strained, and not angled either up or down). The ones I've had the best luck with have at least two velcro straps on the arms and a separate thumb strap, AND allow for the difference in size of your forearm from your wrist (the AOA is not as good at that as my other one).

Both sets of mine have come from orthopods, so I don't have source info.

Other than that, look at your computer setup. Changes in ergonomics have done me more good than wrist supports over the years.
