ABSTRACT:
A fabric brace used in supporting a human wrist having a main enclosure body with a slip-on elastic sleeve formed thereon by a wide fabric strip. An adjustable thumb engagement strap and restraint engagement strap together tighten the brace about the human wrist and hand. Stiffening insert bars are positioned in pockets in the enclosure body. The wrist engagement strap provides an enlarged area of contact with the enclosure body so as to adjustably position and effectively hold the brace about the user's wrist.
