A brace for supporting the human wrist comprising a flexible pad having a main body, a substantially triangular projection extending therefrom, and a rigid angled reinforcing member positioned parallel to the metacarpals and centrally of the projection and main body for applying pressure to the wrist and dorsal area of the hand. The brace is adapted to be tightly secured to the wrist and hand without slippage and is constructed of a two-layer laminate of cloth and foam rubber. The pad is easily tightened about the wrist by means of Velcro fastener strips attached thereon, and the projection is further secured to the hand by an elastic strap which is attached to one end of the projection, crosses the palm and reattaches by a Velcro fastener to the other side of the projection. The elastic strap also increases the pressure exerted by the projection over the dorsal area of the hand, which in turn aids in stabilizing and supporting the area applying pressure to the wrist.
