Well I know that the common image of Roman soldiers wearing bracers is a Hollywood invention, but just for the heck of it, I made myself one of thick leather and found that wearing it on my left wrist for carrying/ using my scutum was quite useful. I can definitely see it being advantageous even if one doesn't have a previously injured wrist.
