Abstract
A vibration dampening device includes a strap or band wrapped around a human body part. The strap includes one or more wing sections, which may be formed from the distal ends of step members engaged to the strap, that extend beyond the nominal width of the strap and have freedom of movement with respect to the strap. Step member and/or wing section movement counteracts longitudinal and/or radial vibrations traveling through soft tissue and musculature to dampen such vibrations.
