Abstract: A unitary body support adapted to be pulled onto and positioned about the hand and wrist area and adapted to anatomically conform to the wrist and basal hand of the wearer comprises a sleeve constructed of a resilient elasticized fabric including an outer layer having a brushed looped texture. The sleeve is provided with a thumb opening and means for receiving a palmar stabilizing stay, with the stay being removable. The sleeve includes an integral compression strap which is sufficiently long to extend around the wrist at least once and which is provided at its free end with hook attachment means for releasable engagement with the outer fabric loops. The sleeve also includes means which makes pulling the sleeve on easier and for adjusting the wrist opening to accommodate to the wrist girth.
