Received an order for a shoulder dislocation brace for a 16 y.o. active male who would like to wrestle and to play rugby. This is a 210 # male, hx of 8 dislocations per year, with surgery to stabilize GH joint about 5 mos. ago.
I am familiar with the SAWA (now called Max? brace), but am interested if anyone has used anything else that might be more appropriate for this young man.
Unfortunately, the primary control desired by the doctor is E.R., which will be tough with most designs I'm familiar with.
Interested in your input, results to be posted.
Thank you.
