ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a protective device to reduce the hazards of fractures and injuries to the forearm and wrist that is particularly intended for wearing by skate board riders and the like who are subject to falls to hard paved surfaces which often result in fractures of the distal, ulna, radius or carpus. The device has a rigid, impact-absorbing, splint member which overlies the forearm and wrist of the wearer, extending from the elbow to the metacarpalphthlangic joint. In a preferred embodiment, the device includes first and second rigid, impact-absorbing, splint members that are connected by hinge means at the wrist to provide a limited freedom of flexing of the wrist and that overlie the undersurface of the forearm and palm of the wearer. Sleeve means are provided for removable attachment of the device to the limb of the wearer and appropriate cushioning layers are provided to insure the comfort of the device and, optionally, to provide enhanced impact absorbing capability.
