ABSTRACT:
An athletic brace to be worn with conventional shoulder pads for reducing the chance of subluxation of the shoulder which includes a wide elastic member that is internally wrapped about the upper arm and brought across the chest for attachment to the front of the shoulder pads. The elastic member tends to limit both abduction and external rotation of the upper arm of the user thereby reducing the chance of the athlete reaching the point that tends to stress the glenohumeral joint to the point of subluxation or dislocation.
