A wrist support adapted to extend along and surround the forearm wrist and palm of the hand to restrict mobility of the wrist joint, the support being formed from a single piece of stretch fabric (10) consisting of a less easily stretchable transverse central band (21) and more easily stretchable transverse proximal and distal bands (25, 23). The support being formed in its outer surface with a longitudinal pocket (12) for a thin brace (14) and with attachment means (16, 20, 22) along its lateral edges for fastening said lateral edges together about the wrist. The attachment means (16, 20, 22) and the pocket (12) are positioned so that when in place a brace (14) of inflexible material in the pocket extends along the ventral surface of the forearm and wrist and underlies the palm so as to hold the hand in dorsoflexion. The band (21) of less stretchable material is positoned towards the proximal end of the support so as to act on the forearm and wrist but substantially not on the palm. |
