Lastrap supports have been subject to some of the most demanding and extensive tests known by various medical studies. These studies have been printed in peer reviewed journals of very good standing.

Elbow Support
Sports Medicine
The Sports Medicine journal printed a study on various elbow supports after what can only be described as 'incredibly extensive testing'. The outcome of these tests was that the Lastrap Elbow support performed far better for more people than all the others. We were very happy to hear these results.

Elbow Support
Journal of Shoulder & Elbow Surgery
'The purpose of this study was to investigate the biomechanical effects of different types of braces that are used in the treatment of patients with epicondylitis radials.' This is one of the most comprehensive studies we have ever seen in our field. The conclusion drawn from this comprehensive study was that supports that include a pad (like our Thermovibe pad) that also sit on the forearm rather than the elbow perform far better than all others. The Lastrap Elbow Support has a Thermovibe pad and sits over the forearm so once again Lastrap supports come out with top marks. To read this study please click here.

This is another incredibly comprehensive study but this time the study compared the use of a Lastrap Shoulder Brace, Physiotherapy and Self Excercise. The study concluded that the Lastrap Shoulder Support out-performed both the Physiotherapy and the Self Excercise. Top marks again go to the Lastrap Shoulder Support.
