Embrace Functional Freedom with PushBraces by BraceLab

Push Braces by BraceLab have built a worldwide reputation around being a premium solution for a variety of conditions that keep people from performing their favorite activities. Push braces are uniquely designed in consultation with medical experts to ensure maximum support and comfort while maintaining functional positioning.

Push products are made in Europe with high-quality materials to ensure comfort and durability. Sympress™, a soft, moisture-wicking microfiber, lines most of the braces, increasing both your comfort and satisfaction during wear time. All Push braces are machine washable and are covered by a 90-day guarantee to ensure longevity and a product you can count on. 

While Push Braces have gained considerable popularity in the USA due to their superior construction and comfortable support, the Push MetaGrip is among the most popular of their selection. The Push MetaGrip is designed to treat thumb CMC osteoarthritis, instability, and also to provide post-operative care. Unlike other solutions, the Push MetaGrip provides CMC stability during pinch and grip without blocking the movements of other joints or totally immobilizing the thumb. Backed by clinical research, this brace can be worn during a variety of activities including knitting, golf, and tennis, and can even be worn under a glove. 

"The Secret is in the Squeeze!"

The Push MetaGrip contains a metal insert designed to be squeezed against the thumb muscles, which stabilizes the CMC joint. This unique brace was designed by a team of experts in collaboration with Judy Colditz, a highly respected and well-published hand therapist who made sure that it would combine the best in medical support technology while also being comfortable and easy to wear. The Push MetaGrip has proven long-term durability, resists abrasions, and can be machine washed on the gentle cycle. Wearers of the Push MetaGrip are often surprised by the pain relief provided by such a streamlined brace.

 

Another of BraceLab’s most coveted Push Brace designs is the Push AFO, one of the fastest growing solutions to help fight foot drop. The dynamic Push AFO is designed to help patients with foot drop return to a natural walking pattern. Three unique design features help it function better than any other solution:

  1. The level of assistance can be modified by adjusting the elastic straps. This allows users to adapt the brace to their stage of recovery, as well as to safely return to walking without a brace when able.
  2. The non-elastic strapping system secures the AFO directly to the foot, allowing users to wear a variety of footwear including sandals and house slippers without the brace interfering.
  3. This pliable brace contains no rigid components, allowing users to engage the ankle motion required to walk up and down stairs reciprocally. 

The flexibility and comfort of this unique brace have led many AFO users to switch from their traditional AFO to the dynamic Push AFO for improved comfort and support that is customizable to your stage of recovery.

For the elbow, the Push Med Elbow Epi is designed to provide an ideal solution for elbow epicondylitis. Elbow epicondylitis is an irritation of the tendons that attach the forearm muscles to the bone. A brace helps with the healing process by redistributing the forces experienced by the tendon. To achieve this, the brace must maintain constant pressure on a specific site of the tendon

The Push Med Elbow Brace Epi incorporates three unique components that help it maintain pressure on the tendon:

  1. A polymer pad is uniquely designed to prevent slippage of the brace on the skin.
  2. A C-shaped design helps prevent constriction of the forearm for improved comfort.
  3. A D-ring is attached with elastic to allow the brace to expand with the forearm muscles during use, improving both support and ease of wear.

The combination of these design features has allowed many golfers and tennis players to overcome their elbow pain to the extent that the Push Med Elbow Epi is a therapist-recommended solution for epicondylitis.

Push Braces are designed with the most advanced comfort and support technology to offer more effective orthopedic solutions for the entire body. Visit us at Rehabmart.com to experience the Push Brace difference.
