Abstract: An elbow-forearm-wrist-hand-finger orthosis having a telescoping and detachable palm/finger rest extending from a wrist-forearm gauntlet wherein the distance between the two is adjustable. The forearm and wrist gauntlet includes a clamshell configuration with an internal stiffener and a volar pocket. The palm/finger rest has a rigid bar extending therefrom that is slidably disposed within the volar pocket for wearer-adjustable extension out of and retraction into the pocket. Several retention straps are disposed about the palm/finger rest and the gauntlet. The gauntlet bottom and the palm/finger rest include curved sections to orient the wrist in a neutral position and the fingers in a relaxed position.

Abstract: A global osteoarthritis knee brace or orthopedic support includes a flexible, elastic sleeve having a tubular shape with a patella opening at an anterior surface with slits on either side of the opening. The brace includes a first pair of rigid longitudinal stiffeners pivoted therebetween at a hinge that is disposed at the lateral or medial side of the sleeve. The brace further includes an adjustable patella support having elongated strips at the ends thereof, wherein the patella support is positioned in the interior of the sleeve proximate with the patella opening, where the elongated strips pass from the interior of the sleeve through the slits to the exterior of the sleeve, and extend upward to be anchored to the sleeve. The wearer pulling on the elongated strips adjusts the patella support to lift the patella.

Abstract: A wrist-forearm-elbow anti-rotation support system and process that do not require a hardenable material. The system includes an orthopedic support such as a wrist-hand orthosis, wrist-hand-thumb orthosis, joined to a bottle-shaped forearm wrap with opposed flaps formed into a clamshell. Proximal elbow flaps include a center elbow region that extends from the proximal end of the forearm wrap. Attaching straps and/or cross straps extending from the proximal elbow flaps attach to the forearm flaps and may crisscross. Hook and loop fasteners extending from the distal edge of the forearm wrap attach the forearm flaps.
