Uses of felt in industrial practice.

Orthopedic felt often can be used quite simply and with great effectiveness to relieve pain referable to positional, traumatic or inflammatory abnormalities of bone, tendon or muscle. Trial of protective and supportive padding with this material is particularly recommended in noninflammatory olecranon bursitis; in beginning ganglion formation; in stenosing tendovaginitis, particularly of the flexor tendons of fingers; in painful heel (subcalcaneal bursitis); and in the correction of postural deformities or imbalances.
