Rehband Hyper-X Elbow Support

Hyper-extension occurs when the elbow is bent backwards beyond its normal range, which can stretch, tear or damage the ligaments. This is often very painful, causing swelling and a loss of strength in the arm. Hyper-extension is usually caused by playing sports, so taking steps to protect your elbow is important for athletes.

The Rehband Hyper-X Elbow Support is an elbow brace which provides excellent joint stabilisation. Featuring cross-over straps on the backside, it alleviates pain caused by hyper-extension, whilst also preventing hyper-extension from occurring in the first place.  

Indications of the Rehband Hyper-X Elbow Support

The Rehband Hyper-X Elbow Support is suitable for the following conditions:

• Hyper-extension

Materials

Application

1. Adapt the splints individually.
2. Open all Velcro fastenings and pull the brace up to the elbow by holding over the splints.
3. Fasten the upper straps and then the lower strap.
4. Keep the elbow lightly flexed. Fasten the cross-wised place Velcro straps one at a time. 

Adjusting the Hyper-X Elbow Support

• It is preferred that the splints are shaped by a medically trained person
• It is easiest to adjust the splint by bending it further at the pre-made bend
• Bend the brace splint sideways only
• Find out in which direction you must bend the splint so that it best fits your arm - you feel this easiest while testing the brace

There are then different approaches to bending the splint (avoid direct bending force against the splint joint):

1. Fasten the splint in a vice or similar device or tool. When fastened, bend the splint with a tool or by manual force.
2. Bend the splint with your hand or with a suitable tool.
