Abstract
An elbow brace (10) supporting a person's elbow (E) in a desired, fixed position comprises a sleeve (12) sized to fit over the person's arm (A). One end (14) of the sleeve terminates above the person's elbow, with the other end (16) of the sleeve terminating below the elbow and above the wrist. A support pad (18) fitted into the sleeve pad supports the elbow in the desired position when the sleeve is in place. Straps (24, 26) extend from the one end (14) of the sleeve and about the wearer's neck to secure the sleeve in place.
