Abstract
A conformable hand brace includes inner surfaces for supporting thumb and palm portions of a patient's hand and an adjustable mechanism that allows the cross section of the brace to be adjusted. The design of the conformal hand brace can be automatically designed by a computer based upon anatomical measurements of a patient's hand derived from a plurality of photographs of the hand.
