A brace for the wrist of a human hand, comprising in combination, an elongated, flexible, relatively thin sheet having an inner side to receive the underside of the user's wrist, the sheet having first and second flaps to wrap over outer side portions of the user's wrist to envelop the wrist, the sheet consisting of elastomer which is foamed and which is bi-directionally stretchable, a first strap at the inner side of the sheet and locally anchored to the sheet to independently wrap adjacent a portion of the user's wrist and then over a portion of one of the flaps, primary retention elements releasably attach the first strap to said one of the flaps, thereby to initially hold the sheet to the wrist, secondary retention elements to releasably attach the flaps together when the flaps are wrapped at about the wrist to envelop the wrist, and to tension said flaps, thereby secondarily holding the sheet to the wrist and to brace the wrist, whereby dual tensioning of the brace is provided, and a hole through the sheet at a location between the flaps, to receive the thumb of the human hand.
