Abstract

A joint support apparatus (1) for supporting a joint in a member (7), the joint support apparatus comprising: a sleeve portion ( 3 ) configured to provide support to a joint in use; a wrap-around brace portion (5) extensible above and below the sleeve portion, the wrap-around brace portion being configured to support to portions of the member above and below the joint when the joint support apparatus is in use. The sleeve portion is confined in use to a joint area of the wearer thereby providing a compressive force only to the joint area.
