Medical devices refer to shoulder immobilizers or shoulder supports or shoulder braces that help the shoulder area by supporting the joint and muscles through load sharing. A shoulder brace is a type of medical device that supports the shoulder by distributing the weight of the afflicted shoulder’s muscles and the surrounding rotator cuff area over the chest. Various shoulder supports come in a variety of designs based on the situation and the desired immobilization.

Some shoulder braces are simple arm slings, while others are extensive harnesses that completely encircle the shoulder, arm, and torso region. Other supports made particularly for such locations include clavicle and posture braces.
