    Abstract: A wrist brace includes: an elastic sleeve applying a first level of compression on a portion of a wearer's arm, extending from the wrist onto the wearer's hand, and onto the wearer's forearm. A first opening into a first pocket receives a correspondingly sized/shaped thermal pack, being positioned substantially straight in an axial direction of the arm, with its width being formed/positioned to overlie the tendons of the third, fourth, and fifth compartments when the wrist brace is worn. A second opening into a second pocket receives a correspondingly sized/shaped thermal pack being substantially straight in an axial direction of the arm, with a width of the second pocket being formed so the second thermal pack overlies the tendons of the first and second compartments when the wrist brace is worn. One or more layers of high compression material overlie and apply a second level of compression the two pockets.

    Abstract: An orthotic device restrains a portion of the movement of a wearer's limb about a joint to train the wearer's muscles to be so limited after the device is no longer worn, preventing hyperextension. The device includes: a first and second tubular portions, and at least one resistance band. The first and second tubular portions encircle respective portions of the limb on opposite sides of a joint, and apply compression. The tubular portions are formed of elastic material, and are joined together to orient an axis of the second tubular portion at an angle to an axis of the first tubular portion, when undeformed. The first and second ends of the resistance member(s) are fixedly secured to selective positions on the first and second tubular portions, respectively, and has a length configured to bias only a portion of the range of movement of the limb away from full extension.

    Abstract: A knee brace includes: an elastic sleeve, and first and second cinching straps. The sleeve includes: a first portion that encircles the leg of the wearer on a first side of the knee joint in proximity to the calf; and a second portion that encircles the leg of the wearer on a second side of the knee joint in proximity to the thigh region. The first and second cinching straps have first ends that are fixedly secured to a first side of the second portion of the elastic sleeve, and to a second side of the second portion of the elastic sleeve, respectively. The first and second cinching straps have a length to permit wrapping around the elastic sleeve at least one full circumferential loop in opposite directions. Flaps of material may be secured to the elastic sleeve to create sockets that receive arms of first and second polycentric hinges.

    Abstract: A back brace includes first and second flexible belt members; a back plate, means for securing the back plate to the belt members, and a height adjustment member. The back plate is contoured on one side to support a first portion of a wearer's back, and has pairs of openings spaced apart in a vertical direction. The height adjustment member is contoured on one side to support a second portion of the wearer's back, and has a plurality of pairs of protrusions configured to releasably couple to a corresponding plurality of the pairs of openings in the back plate at each of a plurality of different height-adjusted positions. The height adjustment member may have four protrusions that engage two pairs of the plurality of series of pairs of openings in the back plate, to provide greater support and stability to the height adjustment member.

    Abstract: A knee brace includes: an elastic sleeve; first and second stiffening members coupled together to crisscross to form an X-shape, and secured to a medial side of the sleeve; third and fourth stiffening members similarly coupled together and secured to a lateral side of the sleeve; and a plurality of slits in the sleeve into a corresponding pockets that receive a thermal pack. The thermal packs and pockets are triangular shaped, with two triangular-shaped pockets on the medial side of the sleeve, and two on the lateral side, each disposed in a respective triangular shape positioned between the x-shape of the stiffening members. The pairs of stiffening members are either: fixedly coupled together to store energy when the user bends at the knee, and to expend the stored energy to assist in lifting the user upward; or pivotally coupled together to pivot according to movements of the wearer's knee joint.
