Shoulder Dislocations & Shoulder Injuries
Shoulder Injury Symptoms & Treatment

How does the Angle Shoulder Brace™ prevent shoulder dislocations?

Angle Shoulder Brace The Angle Shoulder brace™ can prevent shoulder dislocations by providing muscle compression, joint stabilization and support, muscle heat circulation to increase blood flow and promote healing, strain distribution and impact absorption. 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 dislocation, 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. It compartmentalizes and protects the shoulder joint.

What is a shoulder dislocation?

Displacement of the humerus (upper arm bone) from its socket in the shoulder joint. A forward displacement of the humerus is the most common type of shoulder dislocation. A temporary dislocation with immediate return to normal joint position is known as a SUBLUXATION.

What are the signs of a shoulder dislocation?

The signs of a shoulder dislocation are (1) Excruciating pain at the time of injury. (2) Loss of function of the dislocated shoulder joint and severe pain when attempting to move it. (3) Visible deformity if dislocated bones lock in the dislocated positions. If they spontaneously reposition themselves. no deformity will be visible, but the damage will be the same. (4) Severe tenderness over the dislocation.(5) Swelling and bruising at the injury site. (6) Numbness or paralysis in the arm from pressure, pinching or cutting of blood vessels or nerves.

What body parts are involved in a shoulder dislocation?

The specific body parts involved are the shoulder joint; humerus the soft tissue surrounding the dislocation, including nerves, tendons, ligaments, muscles and blood vessels. Injury to nerves in the axilla (armpit) is quite common, as is injury to the axillary nerve, which powers the deltoid muscle.
