Abstract

The invention pertains to an orthopaedic support having a flexible inner member and an exo-skeleton that is molded directly onto the flexible inner member. The support (512) can be used to resist motion of the wrist and includes a thumb spica. An inner fabric support (514) is attached to the exo-skeleton for providing cushioning to the wrist area. Other embodiments include an orthopaedic support having an attachable stay; a web bridge that extends across and supports the web of the hand; an adjustable wrist support having an adjustable forearm portion that can accommodate various sizes of forearms; a wrist brace having a space to accommodate the web of the hand; and a support having an interior padding member, with the padding member itself having a support structure molded onto the padding. Another aspect of the invention relates to the method of making the exo-skeleton.
