It's impossible to prevent the unforeseen events that often cause wrist injuries, but these basic tips may offer some protection:
Build bone strength. Getting adequate amounts of calcium — at least 1,500 milligrams a day for adults — and vitamin D can help prevent fractures.
Prevent falls. Falling forward onto an outstretched hand is the main cause of most wrist injuries. To help prevent falls, wear sensible shoes. Remove home hazards. Light up your living space. And install grab bars in your bathroom and handrails on your stairways, if necessary.
Use protective gear for athletic activities. Wear wrist guards for high-risk activities, such as football, snowboarding and rollerblading. If you're new to extreme sports, consider getting professional instruction, and know your limits.
Pay attention to ergonomics. The market is flooded with devices, such as ergonomic keyboards, that claim to take the stress off your wrists when you're at the office. Using some of these devices, taking regular breaks, keeping your wrists in a relaxed, middle position when you type and improving your posture can make you more comfortable and help protect your wrists.
