An arm vibration damping device, comprising a housing (9), a longitudinal vibration damping module (1) and a transverse vibration damping module (2), the longitudinal vibration damping module (1) comprising a longitudinal motor (11), a support frame (12) and a mounting frame (13), the mounting frame (13) comprising a U-shape element (131) and a mounting element (132); the support frame (12) being located between the U-shape element (131) and two arms, the longitudinal motor (11) being in a transmission connection with the U-shape element (131); a transverse motor (21) of the transverse vibration damping module (2) being in a transmission connection with the support frame (12) via a reverse mechanism (22); the transverse motor (21), the support frame (12), the U-shape element (131) and the mounting element (132) being arranged along an axial direction of the transverse motor (21). Vibration can be cancelled through movements in a longitudinal direction and in a direction of the longitudinal vibration damping module, and the use of two arms of the U-shape element ensures the stability of the whole mounting frame and a components fitted thereon in a longitudinal movement.

An orthopedic device, first and second struts, and a range-of-motion limiting pivot assembly connecting to the first and second struts. The pivoting assembly having an engagement member linked to a tab disposed and arranged for pulling radially outward away from a central axis of the pivoting assembly for adjusting the range of motion of the pivoting assembly.

A brace may include a body portion and a finger portion. The body portion may include a first flexible sheet configured to receive at least portions of a user's wrist and hand and may restrict movement of the wrist. The finger portion may include a second flexible sheet and a rigid stabilizing member. The finger portion may be configured to receive at least one of the user's fingers and may restrict movement of the at least one finger relative to the wrist and hand. Further, the body portion be configured to releasably receive the finger portion.

A wrist-forearm-elbow anti-rotation support system and process that do not require a hardenable material. The system includes an orthopedic support such as a wrist-hand orthosis, wrist-hand-thumb orthosis, joined to a bottle-shaped forearm wrap with opposed flaps formed into a clamshell. Proximal elbow flaps include a center elbow region that extends from the proximal end of the forearm wrap. Attaching straps and/or cross straps extending from the proximal elbow flaps attach to the forearm flaps and may crisscross. Hook and loop fasteners extending from the distal edge of the forearm wrap attach the forearm flaps.

A support and corresponding system and method of using and producing the support, the support being for supporting a joint or body part of a wearer, the support having at least one rigid first support member, at least one fixing device for attaching the support to the wearer, and at least one second support member extending at an angle from the first support member. Optionally, the joint is a joint between first and second body parts, and the first body part is movable or pivotable relative to the second body part via the joint, and the support is arranged such that at least one of the fixing devices is operable to fix the support to the first body part, the at least one rigid support member covers at least part of at least one side of the first body part and extends over at least part of at least one side of the joint, the second support member is configured to extend to another side of the second body part to the first support member, the first support member is adapted to limit motion of the second body part and/or joint in a first direction, and the second support member is configured to limit motion of the second body part in a second direction.

An orthotic support comprises a shoulder section for encapsulating a first shoulder of a wearer, a glove section for conforming to at least a portion of the wearer's hand, and a sleeve section for conforming to the wearer's arm, the sleeve section connecting the shoulder section to the glove section. A resilient reinforcement extends from the glove section to the shoulder section, and at least a portion of the reinforcement extends in a spiral around the sleeve section, so that the reinforcement is configured to apply a rotational force to the wearer's arm, when worn, to urge a portion of the wearer's arm to rotate in a predetermined direction. The orthotic support may be usable to treat or prevent shoulder dislocation or subluxation, arm over-pronation or over-supination, wrist flexion or elbow flexion. An orthotic support may comprise a reinforcement with a first branch extending over an anterior portion of the sleeve section, and a second branch extending over a posterior portion of the sleeve section, so that the reinforcement is configured to urge the wearer's upper arm towards a rest position.

A selectively actuated textile includes one or more pieces of fabric having one or more circumferentially constrained channels and one or more hollow elastic tubes located within the circumferentially constrained channels and configured to receive a working fluid. Selectively providing or removing working fluid from the hollow elastic tubes provides for selective actuation of the textile.

A joint movement supporting protection device, comprising a joint protection body (1) matched with a joint in shape, and a fixing device (2) connected or contacted with the joint protection body (1) and tightly attaching the joint protection body (1) to a joint of a human body. A plurality of upper notches (11) extending downwards from top but not penetrating through bottom are formed in a portion, close to a joint movement area, of the joint protection body (1). Thus, the joint protection body (1) is divided into a plurality of joint pieces (12). A junction of the upper notch (11) and a lower edge of the joint protection body (1) serves as a rotation fulcrum (13) between adjacent joint pieces (12). When the joint bends to a limiting position, the two adjacent joint pieces (12) on two sides of the upper notch (11) contact.

A reinforced support strap and method of application on a joint provides lateral and medial support to a joint and limbs. The support strap comprises, in some embodiments, a resilient body portion having a generally elongated V-shape that encapsulates the joint and is manipulated through rotation or axial movement along the joint and limbs for an enhanced fit. The body portion comprises a base end, an open end, and a pair of termini. The body portion further includes a mount surface that overlays the joint, and an exterior surface. The mount surface adheres to the joint through the use of a fastening mechanism. A reinforcement member, having less resilience than the body portion, may integrates into the body portion through stitching, to provide enhanced stability.

An injured musculoskeletal structure is mobilized relative to a juxtaposing support structure surface to isolate the injured musculoskeletal structure from forces transferred from adjoining musculoskeletal structures in order to alleviate pain, discomfort, inflammation, and further injury associated with such transferred forces.
