Abstract:
1. An arm brace for rehabilitating an arm of a person, the arm brace comprising: a band for wrapping around an arm, the band having a distal end and a proximal end; a looped section at the distal end of the band for accommodating a portion of a hand/wrist of the arm to anchor the band thereto; wherein the band is extendable to an extended position, such that the band exerts a force that causes supination of the arm when the looped section is anchored to the hand/wrist; and a fastener at the proximal end of the band for securing the proximal end of the band to another portion of the band when the band is in the extended position; wherein the looped section of the band has a loop that closes at a notched section of the band, such that the looped portion has angled openings for accommodating a digit of the hand.
