Based on the analysis by physiotherapist Blandine Calais-Germain (2010) regarding wrist pressure and hyperextension, and in our experiences in artistic gymnastics and Yoga, we propose its optimization\u00a0<\/em> to effectively protect your wrist using the T-BOW\u00ae.<\/em><\/p>\n

Anatomical Landmarks of the Wrist<\/p>\n

The wrist is an articular region that joints fitteen very different bones (radius and ulna, eigth carpal bones arranged in two rows and the five metacarpals). When we put pressure on the wrist, there are two support areas that are able to support the body’s weight for shorts periods of time.<\/p>\n

First Support Area – Close to the Forearm

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are on the second row of carpal bones, at the carpal tunnel, where nine tendons and the median nerve pass through this grooved area, held together by the anterior annular ligament.<\/span>
\nGenerally, the carpal tunnel does not provide very good support for the body’s weight.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This area is delicated because it’s made up of many small bones (and varied components) and its skin is thin.<\/span><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The second support area is right where the palm starts, where the bodies of the metacarpals start. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Here, the hand is a bit broader and fleshier, tendons are less grouped (have gebun to separate toward their respective fingers), are the branched endings of the median nerve which serve the hand, and there is the medial palmar apneurosis.<\/span><\/div>\n
This second area is a more suitable support for the weight of the body<\/strong>, because the greater muscle mass of the palm lessen the impact of pressure on the structures below.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, neither area is able to support the body’s weight for very long <\/strong>without creating problems.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
