To apply the brace, wrap the strap around your forearm. Place the wrap on the side of the elbow closest to your wrist and secure it just below the elbow. The forearm has tendons on both sides of the arm. Position the air cushion on the painful area. For example, if pain occurs on the palm side, that is where the cushion should sit. Once you have the air cushion in place, feed the loose end of the strap through the ring on the opposite on the brace. Pull the strap over the ring toward the Velcro. Press the strap onto the Velcro to secure it. The brace should be snug, but not too tight. Rotate your wrist. If the brace feels too tight, pull up on the strap to loosen the brace.
