ABSTRACT:
A lightweight wrist brace has a flexible base which extends along the palm and receives a stiffening member within a pocket. A narrow hand strap extends upwardly and sidewardly from the base at about 105-120 degrees on each side of the base. The two hand straps wrap around the hand and are connected to each other with hook and loop fasteners across the dorsal area of the hand. Two wrist straps are spaced from one another at the rearward end of the base. The wrist straps have hook material and loop material disposed thereon and are releasably received within rings positioned adjacent each strap where it extends from the base. The wrist brace is thus capable of being worn on either a right or a left hand and is adapted for wear by people with varying size wrist and hands.
