Support brace designed to stabilise the shoulder and support the arm
This neurological shoulder brace is designed for people with muscle weakness or a neurological condition affecting the upper limb. It helps improve shoulder positioning, reduce painful strain and support the arm during everyday activities.
The neurological shoulder brace provides targeted support for people with weakness, partial paralysis or instability of the shoulder. It may be used after a stroke or in certain conditions affecting the nerves and muscles of the arm.
When the muscles no longer support the arm effectively, the shoulder joint may lose its correct alignment. The brace helps support the weight of the arm and guide the shoulder towards a more stable position. As a result, it may reduce strain on the joint during movement.
A system of adjustable straps supports the shoulder, upper arm and forearm. It guides the upper limb without completely immobilising it. Therefore, the user may retain some movement according to their abilities and rehabilitation goals.
Improved arm positioning may also support a more balanced posture. In addition, the brace can improve comfort while walking, sitting or completing exercises during rehabilitation.
After suitable training, some users may be able to put the brace on with one hand. However, the first fitting and adjustments should be checked by a healthcare professional.
At OrthoGreen Mobility, an orthopaedic bandagist and medical equipment store in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, Brussels, we help you choose and adjust a neurological shoulder brace suited to your anatomy, independence and rehabilitation programme.
