Abstract
The present invention is a biarticular forearm support brace comprising a hand wrap, an arm wrap, vibrational motors, and EMG sensors. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the present invention further comprises medical-grade materials with elastic properties and a plurality of straps. The present invention takes the tension off the extensor muscles in the forearm by pulling the hand towards the elbow, replacing muscle function and allowing the extensor muscles in the forearm to be shortened while not being contracted.
