The
Shoulder Orthosis is a major advancement in the design of shoulder
girdle support. Designed to facilitate controlled range of motion,
this two pound snug-fitting brace is proven effective as a
functional orthosis with the added ability to support acromio-
clavicular separations. As a range of motion harness, the
Brace
can be used for initial immobilization. However, controlled
mobilization can be begun at an earlier stage to minimize the
weakening of the musculotendinous unit caused by immobilization.
"Rehabilitation can be hastened by early motion, which limits
the consequences of inactivity." (J. Ciullo and B. Zarins;
Clinics and Sports Medicine", March 1983).
In
a 1988 study in Canada on major junior hockey players with
dislocating shoulders, every player who wore the brace did not
suffer a recurrence of his injury, whether the injury had been
conservatively or surgically managed (based on a minimum three year
follow-up).
