A wrist brace is a support garment worn around the wrist to reinforce and protect it against strains and sprains during vigorous activity, or as a splint to aid in recovery. Wrist braces are popular accessories in wrist injury rehabilitation regimens.

Wrist supports, sometimes known as splints, are used by persons who require protection and support for uncomfortable, inflamed, or weak joints. They can help with symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, wrist tendonitis (De Quervain syndrome), fractures, sprains, and strains, among other things.
