  • ELBOW BRACE FOR PREVENTING OR ATTENUATING TENNIS ELBOW
    Publication number: 20100268142
    Abstract: An elbow brace utilizes a pair of shock-absorbing elements that are placed over the arm over the lateral and medial epicondyle of the humerus bone. These elements provide a medium for absorbing a portion of the shock energy and vibration that can travel along the forearm and exit the elbow of a person during physical activity. Pressure transmitting elements are designate to localize pressure directly on the tendon that extends from the extensor digitorum muscle and is attached to the humerus. The other pressure transmitting element is placed over the tendon of the triceps brachii which is attached to the olecranon of the ulna. A positioning strap provides quick and easy ability to align the components on the arm of the wearer. Additional pressure generating straps help to generate focused pressure to the tendons and helps to maintain the brace on the arm of the wearer.

  • Elbow brace and method for preventing or attenuating tennis elbow
    Patent number: 5063913
    Abstract: A brace for preventing or attenuating the effects of tennis elbow utilizes a pair of shock absorbing elements that are placed over the arm over the lateral and medial epicondyle of the humerus bone. These shock absorbing elements provide a medium for absorbing a portion of the shock energy and vibration that can travel along the forearm and exit the elbow of a person during physical activity. The elbow brace also includes pressure transmitting elements which are designate to localize pressure directly on the tendon that extends from the extensor digitorum muscle that is attached to the humerus. The other pressure transmitting element can be placed in contact with the arm directly over the tendon of the triceps brachii which is attached to the olecranon of the ulna.
