Elbow braces

It is important for an elbow brace to be snug enough to support the elbow joint in the desired way. The support must not pinch, squeeze, chafe, or be too loose. The choice of a suitable support is also determined by its intended use.

When tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) has been diagnosed, the elbow joint area needs rest from exertion. The purpose of a tennis elbow strap or brace is to apply targeted pressure to the irritated elbow area. The pressure reduces the strain on the muscles and allows the inflammation to gradually subside. The support is typically a fabric strap that is tightened around the painful area.

The use of an elbow brace is justified when pain, inflammation, stress-related symptoms, or the aftermath of a trauma have been observed in the elbow area. An elbow joint support stabilizes the position of the joint, allowing pain and other symptoms to be alleviated. An elbow brace can also be used for prevention and to support functional capacity (e.g., in daily activities and hobbies).

First, it is good to know what is expected from the elbow brace. Do you want the support to feature lateral hinges, strong compression, or restriction of certain movements? Based on the intended use, it is easier to choose a suitable model. Different categories of elbow braces can be found here.

An elbow brace can be used in several different sports where the elbow joint needs external support.
