Abstract
A wrist brace, comprising a flexible holder to receive the user's wrist and having two flaps adapted to be closed toward one another to secure the holder about the wrist; tightening strands associated with the flaps; a puller connected with all the strands to be pulled to tension the strands as the flaps are moved toward one another, the puller then being adjustably connectible to the holder to adjustably tension all of the strands. A flexible auxiliary strap may be connected to the holder to be adjustably folded over a zone between the user's thumb and forefinger, for adjustable connection to the holder, for firmly anchoring the holder in position on the wrist. The strands may be anchored to an over-flap to be adjustably positioned relative to the puller.
