shoulder joint

Christa O

Hello Everyone,

I had someone inquire about orthoses that allow for adjustable shoulder
flexion for positioning for daily activities. This would be for someone
who has adequate strength of the elbow, wrist, and hand, but had weakness
of the shoulder girdle. I tried searching online but most orthoses I could
find only are adjustable in ab/adduction.

Is anyone aware of an orthosis that is available (or just a shoulder joint
even) that would allow a patient to position their shoulder in varying
degrees of flexion for daily activities?

Thanks!
