摘要: The invention is directed toward providing a method and brace for supporting joint of the body to permit movement in first selected direction restrain second direction. comprises flexible sheet an enclosed inflatable chamber contained sheet. formed material which light when uninflated but relatively rigid inflated. inflated supports prevents unwanted portion be restrained from movement. However, has sufficient flexibility coupled with serves prevent abrasion sensitive areas being confined. sheet, while very flexible, also protects transmission shock joint.
