ABSTRACT:
A wrist brace for relaxing extensor musculature in a forearm having a first body, a second body, and at least one hinge joint hinging the first and second body together. The first body is arranged to be secured to a forearm while the second body extends from the hinge to a palm of the hand belonging to the forearm. A force generator, such as a leaf spring, is adapted to generate a moment of force between the first and second body, such that the second body, hinging relative to the first body, presses against the palm of the hand in a direction directed towards the upper side of the hand belonging to the palm, and wherein the moment of force is at least exerted on the hand when the hand is extended in line with the forearm.
