Abstract: An orthotic protective device collectively including a base unit connected to a metacarpal unit by a hinge system designed to protect and prevent hyperextension and hyperflexion movements of the metacarpal, carpal, radius and ulna regions. The base unit and metacarpal unit includes a longitudinal support member and a casing, respectively, lined with at least one pad having a tongue. At least one releasable fastener is mated to the support member and casing and extends to the tongue of the pad. Apertures of the base unit are mated and connected to apertures of the hinge system which form an articulated joint allowing the hinge system to move in an upward manner allowing for natural extension of the user's wrist and in a downward fashion for unlimited flexion motion. The base unit and the hinge system may both have at least one stop formed thereon; and as these stops come into contact with one another, it limits the flexion, extension and radial-ulnar deviation.

Abstract: An ankle protector is disclosed comprising (i) a pair of supports each including a hard exterior shell and a conformable interior replaceable pad adapted to be fitted, pad facing the leg, onto the lower leg, confrontingly opposing medial and lateral side portions of the leg above and below the ankle malleoli, the support not extending inferiorly sufficiently to engage a surface on which the foot rests, the pad having a higher surface friction face confronting the leg, the support members being circumferentially bound to the leg above the ankle malleoli by (ii) inelastic positive fasteners acting in concert with the high friction surface of the pad to provide, when fitted, a secure mount on the limb, and (iii) an inelastic strap interconnecting said supports, when fitted, tensively, under the sole of the posterior part of the foot.
