Shoulder dislocation in athlete

TONKINH3

Help! I have a 17 year old athlete, approx. 230 lbs. and 6 ft tall who has a

recurrent shoulder dislocation problem. It has happened two times in 6 months

and he is going to continue playing football. The Dr. wants a “sleeve” to

restrict abduction of the arm as well as external rotation so that the patient

will have enough limited motion to play but not enough to pop the shoulder

once again.

With all the athletes around, please tell me the name of a manufacturer of

such a restricted motion sleeve. I can find plenty of sleeves but not one

already equipped with a motion control strap.
