Abstract
Knee and elbow braces arranged to fit all sizes of persons, Each brace is formed of a generally planar elastomeric, e.g., fabric-covered-neoprene, base member and a generally planar elastomeric, e.g., fabric-covered-neoprene, spider member attached to the base member. The base member includes two upper mounting straps, and two lower mounting straps to mount the brace on the person's joint. Each of the upper mounting straps is arranged to be wrapped in opposite directions around the limb above the joint to be protected. The lower mounting straps are arranged to be wrapped in opposite directions around the limb below the joint. The mounting straps include VELCRO.RTM. fasteners to hold the straps in place. When so wrapped the straps define cut away areas to prevent bunching of the material making up the brace when the joint is flexed. The spider member includes two upper and two lower tension straps which are arranged to be releasably secured by VELCRO.RTM. fasteners to respective ones of the mounting straps to effect the customized adjustment of tension provided by the brace to the joint. The spider member also provides cushioning and thermal insulation to the joint.
