ABSTRACT:
An improved wrist brace is described wherein the improvement comprises the brace being formed generally from one piece of fabric having uniform elasticity, the fabric being folded and sewn in such a manner to provide tension in the carpal ligament area which is greater than the tension over other areas and provides an angled compression tube of 32.degree.. An alternative embodiment illustrates an orthopedic support apparatus constructed of two way stretch fabric having a ravel-free severed end portion joined flatly to and abutting another portion of the fabric and stitched thereto. The process of the invention describes an improved method of manufacturing orthopedic supports.
