A member asked:
I would like to know how i can create a brace for my elbow, home-made, by ordering materials. what materials will it be made of or how can i learn how?

Risky: It depends upon what the brace is for...Tennis, sports, work, etc. Trying to construct your own brace is like someone making a non-custom mouthpiece for tmj/tmd. Risky and can make things worse.
