Abstract

The invention provides methods and devices for decreasing the severity of trerrors and other unintentional movements. In some embodiments, the device are for use on a human joint such as a knee, elbow, wrist, shoulder, knuckle or finger joint having an upper bone and a lower bone hinged at an axis relative to one another. It includes an upper portion (13), sized to overlie at least a portion of the upper bone adjacent the joint, a lower portion (14), sized to overlie the at least a portion of the upper bone adjacent the joint, and a first malleable element (11), running longitudinally from the upper portion (13), to the lower portion (14) and attached to the brace (12).
