ABSTRACT:
An adjustable strap or band adapted to be circumferentially fitted around the forearm to alleviate the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The strap is a generally band-shaped device having two opposing inwardly protruding structures on its forearm contacting surface to direct bipolar (transaxial) compression against the radial extensor, supinator complex and flexor muscles when the band is circumferentially tensioned and fastened in place around the forearm. In its preferred form, the band applies an adjustable pressure principally upon the extensor, supinator and flexor muscle wads permitting unimpeded blood circulation along all other portions of the forearm. The two opposing structures that apply transaxial compression are limited in their circumferential extent to those areas of the band immediately overlying the extensor and flexor muscle mass.
