   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • I know this affects the ECU tendon on the pinky side of my wrist, which helps lift and angle my wrist.
   • I know repeated wrist motion, racquet or stick sports, lifting, or twisting can overload this tendon.
   • I know pain is often on the back, pinky side of my wrist and may worsen with gripping or wrist motion.
   • I protect the tendon by reducing painful loads while keeping safe wrist motion and activity.
