Hello List,
I recently saw a lady who has the interesting problem of triceps spasm at
full elbow extension. This in turn causes painful elbow hyperextension. She
has worn an off-the-shelf brace for a couple of years, which works fairly
well except for the fact that it must be replaced every few months.
I am looking for recommendations for a definitive elbow orthosis with an
adjustable extension stop. I would prefer something that is attractive (i.e.
no polypro/brushed aluminum/white Velcro). I have seen one knee brace
manufacturer’s example, but it was a little “football playerish” to quote my
patient.
