>Why don't you add a piece of elastic to your thumper so you don't >have to use any muscles to hold it. >It works for me. My occasional wrist tendonitis is greatly relieved by a home made striking device (see photos below). Wearing a wrist brace by itself (available at medical supply stores) does not relieve much of the impact stress on the wrist tendons. But gluing a felt striker onto the brace directly under the wrist, relieves all of the pressure, and feels very good. It even feels like a massage. The brace has a metal bar that distributes the impact over several inches along the underside of your wrist. Since this prosthesis places your hand farther forward, it is best to remove the fallboard.
