If it would be beneficial to her then great, but if it could make her wrist worse I wouldn't want to risk it.

The short answer is that it might help or it might make her more sore.
It all depends on her arthritis, her mobility, coordination etc....
If in doubt, don't let her use it; she might not even have the coordination to be able to use it!
If she can get on with it then start her off really gently; not much use and moniter her discomfort levels from using it. If she is really elderly and arthritic/osteoporotic then it's probably best not to let her at it....
