ABSTRACT:
An arm brace, when positioned in the underarm intermediate a user's upper arm and lateral part of the user's thorax, assists in the carrying of heavy objects at shoulder level. The arm brace includes a lightweight wedge having two body contoured surfaces, one for receiving the upper arm, and another for the thorax. These two surfaces meet at an acute angle. An open structural framework is employed to reduce the weight of the wedge. This can take the form of the two surfaces and a horizontal buttress. The wedge may be made collapsible through a hinged connection between the surfaces, and between one of the surfaces and the buttress. The brace engages the upper arm through a strap attached to the upper arm receiving surface. The arm brace allows a user to carry heavy loads without fatigue, discomfort, and with reduced risk of injury.
