Benik w-700 hand splint 2nd post

It has been two years since I last tried this, last night spent 30 minutes trying to get it on and failed. With the amount of velcro on here one-handed  donning of this is almost impossible.

 

I bought this a long time ago and if I had this useable in the same time frame as I was using the wrist splint I would likely have more supple fingers. I received the godawful hand built blue plastic hand and wrist splint for nighttime use that rotted after 3 years and never managed to keep my fingers straight no matter how I tried velcroing them down. I finally broke down and installed this on my hand after getting tired of having to constantly flex my fingers open and closed. I hate not knowing the protocol number of times needed to passively flex your fingers before it breaks the spastiscity. The fingers seem to be pulled out correctly but the thumb doesn't have a splint to pull it out.

On my own I started wearing these, wore out three sets in 4 years.  They start to smell after a while. But my wrist never got close to contraction.
