ABSTRACT:
A shoulder brace having an elastic web that is anchored to provide tension to force and guide the humerus upward along its longitudinal axis into the glenoid fossa. The brace restricts elevation of the humerus and opposes both anterior and posterior rotation of the humerus. The brace provides a guided tension force to the humerus along its longitudinal axis, and that force is provided perpendicular to the medial (anterior/posterior) plane and circumferentially around (360.degree.) the humerus axis. Specifically, the elastic web comprises a sleeve region and a shoulder region connected to the sleeve region. In use, the anchors tense the shoulder region inferiorly and medially and tense the sleeve region longitudinally along the arm away from the shoulder.
