ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a collapsible tactile joint support for therapeutic use or as a training aid for sports. The collapsible tactile joint support of the present invention provides corrective tension for the joint up to a predetermined threshold level that is reached by applying an internal or external force, at which point the joint support bends or collapses thereby releasing the corrective tension and freeing movement in the joint. A collapsible tactile wrist support for use as a golf training aid is also described.
