I don't know that answer.... I have mine on and was wondering the same thing. I broke my wrist and I can move the area a little lower from the wrist in the cast and also my fingers. But they also put pins in my cast. They are going to x-ray my cast on Saturday and if the bone is still in place then the answer is no.
