Approximate dimensions: Wrist: 135mm-150mm wrist to end of middle finger: 135mm-175mm Review: Ease of use and strength - After losing the use of my right hand from a cervical spine fusion surgery due to damage of the ulnar nerve, I have been trying to find a way to work out again and have tried several other products but none of them worked as well as this. This is easy to use because of the loops that they provide on the Velcro, as well as the strength of the Velcro and cupping of the hand, allow you to hold substantial weight, although still allows for minimal muscle stimulation of the hand. Fantastic product and much appreciate your efforts to serve a very limited customer base. Just thought I’d mention that I don’t normally leave reviews, which means I am totally impressed.
