ABSTRACT:
A method of limiting arm movement using a reversible arm movement limiter having a first curvate brace section joined to a second curvate brace section. A removably attachable fastener for securing the curvate section to a user is provided as well. In a preferred embodiment, the first currate brace section is shorter in longitudinal length than the second, longer, curvate brace section and the removably attachable fastener is attached to the longer section. Both curvate brace sections are curved so as to more nearly conform to the form of a user's upper and lower arm. The fastener of a preferred embodiment includes at least one stretchable elastic band with two ends. The first end is attached to the longer curvate brace section at one end. A free end is free to stretch around the user's arm. To secure it in place, the invention incorporates the use of hook and loop material so that the free end is removably attachable and infinitely adjustable. As a result, the arm movement limiter of the invention is attached to a single portion of the user's arm, either upper or lower, and is reversible at the limb of the user. Further, the arm limiter of the invention has no moving parts that can pinch the user or wear out and is usable by fight- and left-handed golfers without requirement of modification or adjustment. In a preferred embodiment, the first and second curvate sections are joined at right angles so that the arm is limited in movement up to but not beyond 90.degree., the desired maximum movement of a golfer's following arm. The device may be attached, however, so as to provide for an angle of less than or more than 90.degree. if desired.
