Abstract: The present wrist brace includes an advantageous lacing configuration that provides a cast-like compression on a patient's forearm, wrist, and hand. Pulling the lacing mechanism equilibrates lace tension along the length of the wrist brace in a way that applies consistent compression to the patient's forearm and wrist.

Abstract: The present arch-support brace includes an advantageous strapping configuration that alleviates the painful symptoms of posterior tibial tendon dysfunction by applying consistent compression to the patient's foot, ankle, and lower leg. The arch-support brace includes a tibial-tendon support strap and a repositionable arch pad that lifts and rolls the patient's arch and inwardly rolls the patient's heel.

Abstract: The present wrist brace includes an adjustable panel and an advantageous lacing configuration that provides a cast-like compression on a patient's forearm, wrist, and hand. Pulling the lacing mechanism equilibrates lace tension along the length of the wrist brace in a way that applies consistent compression to the patient's forearm and wrist.

Abstract: A brace incorporates an elongated strut having rigid hinge bars interconnected by an adjustable dual-axis ROM hinge. An exchangeable hinge stop is removably positioned within the ROM hinge, and designed to engage the hinge bars at a predetermined flexion/extension limit, thereby restricting pivoting movement of the strut and custom limiting a range of extension or flexion of the body part. A stop retention post cooperates with a flex member to hold the hinge stop in position relative to the first and second hinge bars. Lifting the flex member outwardly away from the hinge plate allows the hinge stop to be removed from the ROM hinge and exchanged.

Abstract: An orthopedic thumb splint is adapted for stabilizing a carpometacarpal joint of a user. The exemplary thumb splint includes a flexible fabric splint body having a wrist portion and a generally funnel-shaped thumb portion. The thumb portion defines a narrowed opening for receiving a thumb of the user. A thumb-abducting flexible X-strap is secured to the splint body adjacent the narrowed opening of the thumb portion. The X-strap has first and second diverging distal ends having respective inside surfaces. The inside surface of each distal end includes touch fasteners designed to releasably mate with complementary touch fasteners located on an outside surface of the splint body.

Pulling the lacing mechanism equilibrates lace tension along the length of the wrist brace in a way that applies consistent compression to the patient's forearm and wrist.

Abstract: An ankle stabilizing device having a lace-tongue attachment includes a body member, a plurality of eyelets extending along the front edges of the body member, and a centering lace. The centering lace is secured to the ankle stabilizing device between the pair of eyelets at the toe-end of the device such that the central portion of the centering lace is precluded from passing through either of the toe-end pair of eyelets.

Abstract: The present ankle brace includes an advantageous lacing configuration that helps provide cast-like compression on a patient's lower leg, ankle, and foot. Pulling the lacing mechanism equilibrates lace tension along the length of the ankle brace in a way that applies consistent compression to the patient's lower leg and ankle.

Abstract: An adjustable orthopedic back support includes a posterior panel assembly, a circumferential rail strap having ends attached to the posterior panel assembly, and at least one selectively positioned anterior panel assembly. The rail strap has an unattached intermediate length extending between its attached ends. The anterior panel assembly is carried on the unattached intermediate length of the rail strap, and is adapted for sliding linear adjustment along the rail strap relative to the posterior panel assembly. The anterior panel assembly overlaps a portion of the posterior panel assembly, and has a extension portion selectively linearly extending from the posterior panel assembly such that the back support is custom adjusted to circumferentially fit around a lumbar region of the wearer.

Abstract: An ankle stabilizing apparatus for minimizing inversion and eversion of the foot includes a body member having at least one cuff member positioned against a cuff portion of the body member, wherein the cuff member defines at least one opening for receiving at least one stabilizing strap such that the cuff member and stabilizing strap dynamically apply a variable force against the body member and ankle. The apparatus promotes variable compression against the ankle upon application and during wear. The apparatus also resists distal migration during wear.

Abstract: An ankle stabilizing device is designed for use on an ankle and foot of a wearer. The ankle stabilizing device includes an above-the-foot flexible body member designed to substantially encircle the ankle. The body member has an open upper end adapted for extending to a point above the ankle. An elongated, flexible, non-stretch ankle belt is secured to the body member proximate its upper end, and is adapted for extending circumferentially around a lower leg of the wearer. At least one elongated flexible stabilizing strap has a proximal end affixed to the body member, and an opposing free end adapted for extending under the foot and releasably attaching to the body member.
