An anatomical brace for dynamically stabilizing the elbow during elbow articulation, the anatomical brace comprising a brace body; a hinge mechanism comprising a pivot; a pivot cable guide mounted to the pivot; an upper arm cable guide mounted to the hinge mechanism and the brace body; an ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) cable guide mounted to the brace body; and a cable, the cable being routed along the hinge mechanism, through the pivot cable guide, along the hinge mechanism, through the upper arm cable guide, and through the UCL cable guide; wherein, when the anatomical brace is secured to the arm of the user, and when the elbow moves to full extension, the cable is tensioned, whereby to apply a force to the UCL of the user, and when the elbow thereafter moves to full flexion, the cable is relaxed, so that the force applied to the UCL is released.
