Greetings List,
I just saw a patient who has pain at full elbow extension. Pain has not
increased over several years since hyperextension injury. Only hurts when he
shoots a basketball. Right elbow injury, right handed. Has used an off the
shelf orthosis with a strap to stop extension and it worked very well for
him. Only uses orthosis for basketball. Wants the same thing, but does not
have it with him, does not know the manufacturer, can’t remember where he
got it. Can anyone help identify an off the shelf elbow orthosis that will
meet his needs?
