A device adapted to be circumferentially fitted around the forearm to alleviate symptoms of overuse injuries, such as tennis elbow. The device is an elongate band composed of two elongate arcuate compression plates detachably and adjustably linked end to end by flexible straps. Each of the compression plates has an inwardly concave skin contacting surface which, in operation, are in circumferent opposition on the forearm to compress the skin overlying the radial extensor and flexor muscles within the forearm transaxially disposed therebetween. When the band is circumferentially tensioned and fastened to encircle the forearm, only the discrete, anatomically opposed skin contacting surfaces of the compression plates press against the skin. The skin contacting surfaces of the two compression plates are positioned by the user to immediately overlie the extensor and flexor muscle mass respectively. Only the skin underlying the skin-contacting surface of the compression plates and the intervening tissue transaxially disposed therebetween is compressed. Other circumferential portions of the forearm underlying the band are not compressed and the venous blood return is substantially unimpaired by the band.

A tennis training apparatus and method of use thereof, for improving a forehand and/or backhand of a tennis player. The apparatus includes a wristband, an “L”-shaped bracket attached to the racket, and an inflexible strap linking the L-shaped bracket to the wristband. When the strap is tightened, it causes the wrist to bend backwards in extension at an approximately ninety degree angle to the forearm. A second component of the training aid is a restraining plate in the form of a torso attachment worn by the player, wherein the torso attachment retains alignment of the player's hand, hips and shoulders; thereby, forcing the player to rotate his hips to perform a stroke. The torso attachment may be subsequently employed or removed during two-handed backhand strokes. The tennis training apparatus significantly improves the power and control of strokes, and also reduces and/or prevents the risk of developing tennis elbow.

A tennis elbow pad assembly product for relieving the symptoms of lateral epicondylitis is disclosed. The tennis elbow pad assembly product includes an outer pouch formed of a moisture-impervious material. A pad is positioned in the pouch in substantially moisture-free conditions and sealed therein against entry of moisture until use.

The pad includes an initially flexible substrate impregnated or coated with a reactive system. The system remains stable when maintained in substantially moisture-free conditions and hardens upon exposure to moisture to form a rigid, self-supporting structure having a shape that conforms to the forearm to which the pad is molded during curing. The pad also includes a flexible outer layer enclosing the substrate and a support cooperating with the pad for maintaining the pad in its closely-conforming position against the forearm.

The invention discloses a table tennis racket, a tennis racket, a badminton racket or a squash racket with a shock absorption grip. The racket comprises a batting board 1 and a grip sheet 2. The racket is characterized in that: an elastic device 3 in a stress state is arranged between the grip sheet 2 and the batting board 1. When the shock of the racket is transferred to the position of the grip after the racket strikes a ball, the elastic deformation of the elastic device 3 consumes the shock energy and damps the strength of the shock, and the elastic device does not reflect the shock and does not affect the batting shock information transferred to a hand from the outer side of the grip sheet 2 by the batting board 1 at the same time. The elastic device 3 is in the elastic stress state, so that the elastic device has higher absorption effect on the shock and plays a role in supporting the grip sheet, and the strength of the grip is not excessively reduced. The problems of poor handfeel of the racket, tennis elbow formation and the like caused by excessive shock of the racket are solved by using low cost and simple production processes.
