Abstract
People whose hands suffer from CMC Arthritis are prescribed a hand brace. For multiple reasons, these people are discouraged to wear them sufficiently. This project focusses on the aesthetics in these braces and their stigma. The result is a medical aid which is not perceived as a crutch but as a clothing accesory. By giving people who have been afflicted with CMC Arthritis the ability to choose which brace fits their style, they have been given the ability to brace themselves.
