I'm not sure I need splints yet, but this might be a good time to start wearing something at night as a preventative measure. Is there a splint out there that just holds the entire hand flat? Please provide recommendations! I think I'm ready to buy something.

I find frequently that I'll wake up at night after holding my hands in the fisted position and they feel temporarily contracted. They are achy trying to flatten them out, but do so quickly and I still easily pass the table top test and can lift all fingers. Seems like it might be better to sleep with flat hands rather than fisted ones.

Much thanks! Why don't you wear it? Also I wonder why the index finger isn't splinted.

I had a custom splint made by a rehab clinic after my Xiaflex procedure but it wasn't very comfortable and was pretty flimsy. I ended up making my own to keep my hand flat at night. I bought some sturdy gloves at my local hardware store, cut the thumb. index and little fingers off and hot glued a piece of stiff plastic onto the middle fingers and down the back of the glove. Much more support and much more comfort and no cheesy velcro straps. I tossed the expensive custom made splint out after the third night....
