ABSTRACT:
A brace for supporting the tendons of the human elbows comprised of a flexible, curvilinear pad having a substantially triangular projection extending therefrom and a rigid, angled reinforcing member positioned centrally of the projection for applying pressure to the medial epicondyle. The brace is of substantial width especially adapted to be tightly wrapped about the upper forearm and elbow without slippage and is constructed of a two-layer laminate of cloth and foam rubber, or like resilient materials. The pad is easily tightened about the upper forearm by means of Velcro fastener strips attached thereon, and the projection is further secured to the elbow by an elastic strap which crosses the upper arm at the elbow joint and attaches to both sides of the projection. The elastic strap also increases the pressure exerted by the projection over the medial epicondyle.
