Abstract: A wrist brace comprises a sleeve adapted to extend from the hand region of the wearer to a forearm region of the wearer. The sleeve can be made from a material which is elastic in both the circumferential and longitudinal directions. The wrist brace further comprises a preformed support removably positioned within the sleeve. The support longitudinally extends along the sleeve in order to support the wearer's wrist. The sleeve is provided with a longitudinally extending fastening means which permits the brace to be fastened about the wearer's wrist by longitudinally operating a fastening member to thereby pull together portions of the sleeve material against its circumferential elasticity. Similarly, the brace can be removed from the wearer's wrist by longitudinally operating the fastening member to thereby release the portions of the sleeve material.
