ABSTRACT:
A brace for a human joint. The brace includes a top clamp and a bottom clamp removably mountable to the limbs on the opposite sides of the joint and secured thereto by a pair of belts. A plurality of adjacent strips have top ends fixedly mounted to the top clamp and bottom ends slidably mounted to the bottom clamp. The bottom clamp includes a pin fixedly mounted thereto which extends through a slot in the strips facilitating slidable motion for the strips relative to each other and with respect to the bottom clamp. An elastic housing encloses the top clamp, bottom clamp and a portion of the strips urging the bottom clamp towards the top clamps, but yieldable to allow further separation.
