The elbow can be immobilised in flexion or extension, and the forearm can be immobilised in pronation, supination, or intermediate positions, in the protective brace. A splint or brace for a shoulder or arm injury is frequently used as part of a rehabilitation programme.

This helps to keep your joints and soft tissues stable.
