Carp-X Wrist Brace™

The agonist-antagonist principle and dynamics

Holding the wrist in a functional position requires contraction of the painful extensors. These muscles tense even more when something is grasped or lifted with the hand. By having the hand move against resistance in the direction of flexion, the load on the extensors is reduced. This is called the agonist-antagonist principle.¹ Moreover, in this way, the extensors are stretched under a minimum load. This stimulates the newly made structures to align themselves with the direction of the load, so that they become stronger more quickly.

What is Carp-X?

Carp-X is a dynamic orthosis that ushers in a new era in the treatment of the common complaint of lateral epicondylitis.

How does it Work?

Using the agonist-antagonist principle, in which the flexors are engaged in order to relax the extensors, Carp-X provides the comparative rest that is necessary for rapid and effective recovery, without restricting patient activity.

Indications: Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow)         

Carp-X: The Solution That Always Fits

Carp-X is available in three sizes, in both left-hand and right-hand versions. The sizes are based on the breadth of the hand and the circumference of the forearm.
