    Abstract: An external structural brace apparatus and method for supporting a user on a surface and for the user to ambulate along the surface to relieve shoulder, armpit, hand, foot, and wrist loads, the apparatus includes first and second support beams that each have a telescoping cantilever beam that contacts the surface. The first and second support beams have a primary pivotal couple at one end to one another with a mechanism to create opposite symmetrical movement of the beams. An attachment element supports the user at their torso has a secondary pivotal connection to the first and second beams and third and fourth user handles that are pivotally attached to the first and second beams are for grasping by the user to extend and retract the telescoping cantilever beams to and from the surface at reduced and increased extension and retraction rates for user ease of ambulating along the surface.

    Abstract: A rehabilitation device for treating carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow is disclosed. The rehabilitation device includes upper and lower members clamping a wrist from above and below. An upper bulge element and a lower bulge element are correspondingly positioned in the middle of the inner faces of the upper and lower members, respectively, for pressing against a gap between the ulna and radius of the wrist from above and below. The upper member has two positioning elements on the inner face to the lateral sides of the upper bulge element. A strap wraps around outer faces of the upper and lower members so as to tight the upper and lower members on the wrist from above and below. By swinging the palm up and down, the bulge elements press into the gap and provide massage and relaxation to the ligament inside.
