ABSTRACT:
A shoulder stabilizer system having a chest portion extending around the chest of the athlete, at least one shoulder portion, and an arm portion proximate the shoulder portion for substantially coveting the axilla and the upper arm of the injured shoulder. The garment has an inside surface constructed of a rubberized material for gripping the skin of the athlete and an outside surface constructed of a loop material for engaging with the hook portion of the hook and loop fastener. One or more elastic straps are strategically attached to the garment for limiting or assisting the movement of the shoulder joint. A bifurcated elastic strap may be used for generating complementary forces relative to a single anchor point.
