The invention is a prefabricated, dynamic, interactive wrist splint/brace. The brace is simple, low profile, easily adjusted and is able to provide adjustable fixed splinting positions, active inputs, reactive force, and adjustable damping functions in all deviations. The brace will help insulate, protect and absorb vibrations and shocks the wrist joint may be subject to. The brace is simple to install, adjust, and remove by the user utilizing only their free hand. The brace is dynamic and without serious modifications can go from an adjustable static rigid splint; to a splint with limited ranges of motion; to an active or reactive rehabilitation aid; to a brace which allows universal pivoting of the wrist that does not restrict any movements yet provides safeguards to the joint to prevent re-injury. The hand piece, forearm piece and strapping are dimensioned to be able to provide support and varying pressure to the transverse metacarpal ligaments, the carpal ligaments, the intercarpal ligaments and to the transcarpel ligaments.
