Abstract
A knee brace and method for supporting osteokinematic joint movement. The knee brace includes a tubular sleeve adapted to enwrap a user's knee and extend around portions of the user's upper leg and lower leg adjacent to the knee. Further, an elongated strapping component is secured to the tubular sleeve, and adapted to wrap about the tubular sleeve in a spiral configuration. The elongated strapping component is constructed of an elastic material that provides support for stabilizing the user's knee.

A knee brace that supports osteokinematic joint movement, comprising:
- a tubular sleeve adapted to enwrap a user's knee and extend around portions of the user's upper leg and lower leg adjacent to the knee;
- and
- an elongated strapping component being secured to the tubular sleeve, and adapted to wrap about the tubular sleeve in a spiral configuration, the elongated strapping component constructed of an elastic material that provides support for stabilizing the user's knee.
A method of supporting osteokinematic joint movement in a user's knee with a knee brace, comprising:
- enwrapping a tubular sleeve about the user's knee whereby the tubular sleeve extends around portions of the user's upper leg and lower leg adjacent to the knee;
- and
- wrapping an elongated strapping component constructed of an elastic material about the tubular sleeve in a spiral configuration for stabilizing the knee.
An elbow brace that supports osteokinematic joint movement, comprising:
