Abstract: A water-resistant device for providing support to a joint of an articulable portion of a limb, and adapted for use in and out of water. The water resistance device includes a pliable enclosure member having a continuous substantially tubular contour, for placement over the limb and surrounding the joint thereof. The pliable enclosure member is water resistant and permits a minimal degree of water absorption as to exhibit buoyancy and substantially maintain its intrinsic mass upon being exposed to water. The water resistant device includes a joint support means that is associated with the pliable enclosure member. The joint support means is fixedly positioned with respect to the pliable enclosure to provide to the joint, support against both lateral and torsional forces imposed thereon during use in and out of the water.
