ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and methods of rotating a non-functioning or injured wrist by flexing or extending the associated elbow may be activated by muscle action of the wearer or by an elbow actuator. Cuffs disposed above and below the elbow that receive the wrist and arm are interlinked in a manner that permits varying of the degree of supination and pronation of the wrist to the needs of the wearer. Also, the angle of elbow flexion at which wrist rotation starts and stops can be varied by adjusting the operating mechanism.
