ABSTRACT:
A portable appliance for treating carpal tunnel syndrome and/or other problems of the wrist of a person. The appliance comprises a releasably securable sleeve means for securement to a person's forearm, a stationary member positioned on the sleeve means, a moveable member slidably coupled to the stationary member, a cuff means secured to an end of the moveable member and a bias means coupled between the stationary member and the moveable member. The bias means is provided for urging the moveable member to slide from a retracted position to an extended position thus causing the cuff means to securely engage a portion of the person's hand adjacent the person's wrist to apply a predetermined tensile load to the person's wrist in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the forearm.
