摘要： An athletic wrist support for teaching proper throwing techniques includes an inner body member, preferably made from a soft, flexible material such as Neoprene, which has hook and loop fastening straps to secure the wrist support to the arm. A substantially rigid plate member is attached on an outer portion of the inner body member in such a way that it fits on the upper forearm of a wearer and extends from just below the knuckles on the back of the hand down below the wrist, to prevent pronation motion of the wrist. In a preferred embodiment, the plate member is made from a strong, lightweight plastic, which is substantially rigid, but which will bend under extreme pressure. An outer body member, also preferably made from Neoprene, is attached to an upper portion of the plate member. The outer body member also has hook and loop fasteners that are used to secure the outer body member about the plate member and the inner body member. The wrist support prevents pronation of the wrist, without otherwise disturbing the throwing motion of the hand and arm, causing the object to be thrown at a higher velocity with more consistent accuracy. By preventing pronation of the wrist, the wrist support provides a more consistent release point of the ball, places the wrist in the proper throwing position, decreases stress on the arm and elbow, and causes the person to use more of his or her body instead of their arm to throw the ball. All of these factors contribute to provide more efficient body mechanics, which helps to conserve energy and prevent injury during competition. In essence, by preventing pronation of the wrist, the wrist support forces the wearer to use proper body mechanics, which translates into proper throwing techniques.

摘要翻译： 用于教导适当投掷技术的运动腕部支撑件包括内部主体构件，其优选地由诸如氯丁橡胶的柔软的柔性材料制成，其具有钩环紧固带以将手腕支撑件固定到臂上。 基本上刚性的板构件以这样的方式附接在内主体构件的外部部分上，使得其适配在穿戴者的上前臂上并且从手背上的指节的正下方延伸到手腕下方以防止 手腕的旋前运动。 在优选实施例中，板构件由坚固轻质的塑料制成，该塑料基本上是刚性的，但是它将在极端压力下弯曲。 也优选由氯丁橡胶制成的外体构件附接到板构件的上部。 外本体构件还具有钩环紧固件，其用于将外主体构件围绕板构件和内主体构件固定。 手腕支撑件防止手腕旋转，而不会妨碍手臂的投掷运动，导致物体以更高的精度以更高的速度投掷。 通过防止手腕旋转，手腕支架提供更一致的释放点，将手腕放置在适当的投掷位置，减轻手臂和肘部的压力，并使人更多地使用他或她的身体 他们的手臂扔球。 所有这些因素有助于提供更有效的身体力学，有助于节约能源并在竞争中避免受伤。 实质上，通过防止腕部旋转，腕部支撑件迫使佩戴者使用适当的身体力学，这转化为适当的投掷技术。
