Abstract: A brace for supporting a wrist is disclosed which is specifically adapted to allow controlled regulated movement of the wrist during a healing process. The brace is formed by an anterior forearm plate which has a pair of elongate struts attached thereto. A hand brace is pivotally connected to the struts in a manner wherein the amount of pivotal movement of the hand brace may be controlled through the manipulation of a plurality of stop members which extend between the hand brace and the struts. The hand brace is further used to apply downward pressure to the posterior aspect of the user's hand to aid in the healing process. Such pressure is constantly maintained though pivotal movement of the wrist is permitted by the hand brace. A posterior forearm plate is releasably attached to the struts and is used to maintain the wrist brace upon the user's forearm.
