Bandage

Bandages serve to support and relieve strained tissue, tendons, ligaments and bones. Wearing a bandage can also lead to an improvement of symptoms in the mouse arm. Bandages usually consist of firm, stretchable material in which silicone cushions can be incorporated depending on the function.

The material allows a high degree of mobility, while at the same time it creates a compression of the tissue, which improves blood circulation and stimulates the metabolism. This also leads to pain relief and relief for the mouse arm. The affected arm is thus protected against overloading. However, the bandage should not be worn around the clock due to its compression effect.

Tapes

Taping can also help to reduce the symptoms of a mouse arm. There are basically two different approaches. Classical tape bandage Here the affected area is immobilized by the tape.

The tape provides more stability and at the same time compression as well as a restriction in mobility, which relieves overstressed structures. Kinesiotape With the elastic kinesiotape, the patient is not restricted in his mobility. Nevertheless, the Kinesiotape supports the affected joint through its design and special function, thus promoting blood circulation, massaging the tissue and helping to relieve pressure.

Both types of tape bandages should always be applied by trained personnel to avoid damage.

Cuff

The so-called Masalo cuff is a relatively new form in the treatment of the mouse arm. The special thing about the cuff is that it creates a counter traction, which relieves the painful areas. This works because the leather belt covers both forearm and upper arm, so that with every movement the muscles are stretched in the direction of the hand against the actual pulling force.

This allows overstrained tendon attachments to heal while the arm can continue to be used normally. Since the cuff works without pressure, it can be worn around the clock. The advantage of this cuff is that the patient does not have to suffer long periods of absence from work or sports.
