Shoulder Dislocation Orthoses-
Most of these orthoses are similar in outline and principle by have a vest
type appearance, with a single short sleeve on the involved shoulder. The
motion is limited w/ either straps or simple joints. I have used the Sawa
shoulder Brace twice on athletes w/ very good results.
