Abstract
A supination-pronation orthosis for the elbow joint of a patient which includes a hand and wrist cuff secured to the hand and wrist of the patient and an upper arm cuff secured to the upper arm of a patient to extend from adjacent to the elbow joint outwardly along the upper arm. A flexible torsion unit is mounted to extend between the upper arm cuff and the hand and wrist cuff along the forearm of the patient. This torsion unit provides a bias to selectively oppose rotation of the forearm of the patient about the elbow joint.
