How does the Angle Shoulder Brace™ prevent shoulder separations?
The Angle Shoulder brace™ provides muscle compression, joint stabilization and support, muscle heat circulation to increase blood flow and promote healing, strain distribution and it absorbs and spreads direct impact. The inner surface of The Angle Shoulder brace™ attaches to the surface of the shoulder, bicep , chest and upper back to spread strain over all those surfaces instead of concentrating it on the shoulder as is the case with the unprotected shoulder under an injury condition.
How does the Angle Shoulder Brace™ help if you have an existing Shoulder separation injury?
When used to protect an existing shoulder injury, The Angle Shoulder brace™ stabilizes and supports the shoulder joint, spreads strain and impact over the entire surface of the garment, raises muscle temperature to increase blood flow and promote healing in the joint and surrounding tissue.
Violent overstretching of the acromioclavicular ligaments in the shoulder where it meets the collarbone(clavicle). Sprains involving two or more ligaments cause considerably more disability than single ligament strains. When the ligament is overstretched, it becomes tense and gives way at it weakest point, either where it attaches to the bone or within the ligament itself. If the ligament pulls away a fragment of bone it is called an avulsion fracture. There are three types of sprains:
- A mild or (grade I) sprain, Tearing of some ligaments fibers. There is no loss of strength.
- A moderate or (grade II) sprain, which is a rupture of a portion of the ligament, resulting in some loss of function.
- Severe (grade III) sprain, which is a complete rupture of the ligament or complete separation of the ligament from bone. There is a total loss of function. A severe sprain may require surgical repair. The higher grades of shoulder separation show injury to the coracoclavicular ligaments as well as to the acromioclavicular ligaments
