ABSTRACT:
A brace for disposition on a part of a person to provide heat retention, electrical stimulation, compression and/or support thereto. The brace basically comprises a sleeve for disposition around the body part, an electrically conductive fabric located on the inner surface of the sleeve, and at least one electrical connector, e.g, a snap means, for releasable electrical connection to an electric source providing High Voltage Pulsed Current. The sleeve is formed of an electrically insulative, thermally insulative, resilient or elastomeric material, e.g., neoprene rubber. The electrically conductive fabric is stretchable and flexible and arranged for direct engagement with the skin of the person when the brace is in place so that electrical stimulation is provided to the body part by the engagement of the electrically conductive fabric to the skin, while the sleeve retains heat in the portion of the person's body about which the sleeve is disposed and also provides mechanical compression and/or support.
