Arm and Shoulder Orthoses

Arm Orthotics (Arm Brace):

An arm orthotic, commonly known as an arm brace, is a medical device designed to provide support, stability, and immobilization to the arm, typically from the wrist to the upper arm. These braces are often made of materials like fabric, plastic, or metal, and they help restrict motion and alleviate pain in the arm. Arm braces are used for various conditions, such as fractures, strains, sprains, or after surgeries. They aid in the healing process, protect the arm, and may improve comfort and function.

Shoulder Orthotics (Shoulder Brace):

A shoulder orthotic, or shoulder brace, is a medical device designed to support and stabilize the shoulder joint and surrounding structures. These braces are typically made of fabric or neoprene and are worn over the shoulder and sometimes extend down the arm or across the chest. Shoulder braces are used for a range of conditions, including shoulder instability, rotator cuff injuries, shoulder dislocations, or post-surgical rehabilitation. They help restrict motion, reduce strain on the shoulder, and support the healing process, promoting stability and comfort in the shoulder area.
