Wrist-Brace Mod for my Wife

[ChainCrafts]

So, my wife had to go to the doctor today because she hyper-extended her wrist a few days ago. As it turns out, she strained her tendons pretty bad and the doc gave her a brace that she has to wear for the next two weeks. When she got home from the doctor's, she asked me if I would like to decorate it for her. Needless to say, I was very excited to do so!

Here's how the brace looked to begin with (with the first bits of sharpie drawing on the thumb piece):




And, after more black sharpie and a bit of chainmaile:




I decided after it was finished that it was no longer a wrist-brace. Far from it. It has now become a futuristic battle-gauntlet that prevents her wrist from snapping back when she fires her super compact, hand-held Railgun. She fires the Railgun with her off-hand, of course, because her dominant hand needs to be free to wield her Tesla Sword!

My wife sent me a modified picture with her thoughts on the subject:


And now she'll happily follow her doctors instructions and actually wear the brace for the full two weeks

Mission accomplished!

ha!  that's awesome!  Making a wrist brace look kick as would make it a heck of a lot less annoying!

Your wife ROCKS. And so do you.

Awesome!

Out of curiosity, did you use aluminum rings for the chainmail?  Otherwise I would think the weight (even in that small amount) would be counter-productive in the healing process.  It looks sweet either way.  Rock on!

This looks totally amazing. I used to sell those wrist braces at work and everyone complained that they looked horrible - I think you have solved that problem rather admirably!

This is awesome what a great idea! Totally gave me an idea on what to do to my braces to make them look better! I am supposed to wear them because of easy dislocations and carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists but I dont wear them because they are annoying. Maybe if I made them look awesome I would wear them more! I think Zebra (for my Ehlers Danlos Sydrome) and chainmaille will do the trick!
