Elbow orthosis

An elbow orthosis is a wearable brace designed to stabilize, protect, or correct the elbow joint, often used after injuries, surgery, or to manage conditions like arthritis or tendonitis. These devices help maintain proper alignment, reduce pain, and support recovery by limiting motion when needed while allowing controlled movement for daily activities.

Elbow orthoses are typically reusable, prefabricated devices that fit standard anatomical measurements without customization. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their intended use—such as support or immobilization—and may require compliance with medical device standards for safety and performance before market entry.
