ABSTRACT:
An elbow brace of the present invention is adapted to provide stability to the elbow joint. The elbow brace is comprised of an elastic sleeve and an elastic strap. After the sleeve is placed over the arm of a person, the elastic strap is attached to the sleeve by Velcro fasteners and wrapped in a figure eight configuration. The elastic strap is secured to the sleeve in different ways depending on the part of the elbow joint that needs to be supported. The elbow brace of the present invention can be used either to alleviate pain of an existing injury or as a preventative device to prevent injury. The brace can be used to modify various biomechanical actions that take place in the arm including extension or hyper-extension of the elbow, hyper-pronation of the hand, and/or hyper-supination of the hand.
