Dynamic arm brace assemblies and methods of use are provided herein. An example device includes a torso connection member securable to a torso of a patient, a forearm support member that couples with at least a forearm of an patient, the forearm support member couples with the torso connection member so as to fix an elbow of the patient proximate the torso, the forearm support member being pivotally coupled to the torso connection member to allow for an angle between the forearm support member and a coronal plane of the patient, and a dynamic tensioning assembly that externally rotates the forearm support member and selectively sets the angle so as to stretch a shoulder capsule (capsule and adjacent tissue(s)) affected with adhesive capsulitis, reducing the adhesive capsulitis.

An orthopedic brace for supporting a shoulder and an arm of a patient can comprise a sleeve, a pad, a pillow, and a system of adjustable straps for positioning and securing the sleeve in a desired position for treatment. The pad can comprise a plurality of pockets for accepting hot or cold compresses therein for providing thermal therapy, and can be removable from the brace to be used in isolation along other parts of the body. The adjustable straps can be replaced with tensile straps, and the sleeve can be positioned along different points of the patient's body to allow the patient to conduct various patient driven exercises, including patient driven range of motion or strengthening exercises.

An arm sling has a neck strap that is selectively slidably secured to a first arm strap and a second arm strap. The arm sling is adapted for use in the shower and is configured to be adjusted using a single arm. Each of the arm straps has a loop and a belt. An outer surface of each loop may be covered with a first fastening portion and the belt may be covered with a second fastening portion. The first fastening portion is configured to removably connect with the second fastening portion at a plurality of locations along a length of the second fastening portion. The loop also has a securement band disposed adjacent a junction between the belt and the loop. The securement band is configured to selectively hold the belt adjacent to the loop.

A shouldered arm sling provided for treatment of various injuries to the arm, wrist, hand, of a patient, during convalescence, the sling includes primary straps and a saddle-style member, connecting with the front and back straps of the sling, the saddle-style member having a pair of straps, one strap rests upon the upper shoulder of the patient, the second strap rests upon the lateral side of the patient's shoulder, and the bifurcated straps have a flexible fabric type member connecting intermediately thereof, in order to provide for the dissemination of the generated forces on the shoulder from the weight of the arm being supported during its healing. The flexible fabric forms the saddle strap into a concaved configuration, to ergonomically fit upon the upper segment of the supporting shoulder, to add stability and comfort to the patient. A supplemental strap secures auxiliary to the primary straps, and prevents lateral shifting of the entire saddle when the supporting shoulder's arm is lifted above the head.

A dual-arm support apparatus comprised of a tubular length of a flexible material that encircles the arms, shoulders, and upper back. Elbows and forearms are comfortably supported in front of the body, and the weight is evenly distributed across the upper back with no pinch or pressure points. Symmetry of design allows for usage inside-out, or upside down. Flexibility of the material allows for non-restrictive arm support in a multitude of positions. The mildly compressive nature of the support may also induce a sense of comfort helping alleviate feelings of anxiety. A pocket may be included to serve as a stuff stack by which the apparatus may be stored when not in use, or to hold a mobile device or wallet during use.

A therapeutic orthopedic device is described. The orthopedic device serves to restrain and limit movement of a human arm and shoulder. The device comprises a torso pillow, a padded forearm support attached to the pillow and a shoulder strap that traverses the clavicle region of the opposite shoulder. The pillow is positioned to rest against the torso of a user and the strap is positioned over the opposite shoulder. The forearm support acts as a shelf upon which the user's forearm may rest in a natural position. Flexible straps extend from the forearm support, over the user's forearm, and engage with the pillow to secure the forearm.

A system for covering and visually distinguishing an injured limb is used to enclose and visually indicate a physical injury to prevent exacerbating said injury through unwanted contact. Additionally, wound recovery times may be shortened by insulating and protecting an injured limb throughout a convalescence period. The present invention utilizes a medical brace enclosed in a covering textile, with at least one fastener securing the covering textile about the medical brace and a user's injured limb. At least one visual indicium is mounted onto the covering textile to provide direct indication to the nature of injury. The visual indicium displayed across the covering textile will ideally encourage surrounding persons to avoid physical contact with the user, thereby preventing any undue discomfort caused by bumping or jostling the injured limb.

A system and method is used to monitor, control, and/or provide feedback relative to one or more factors related to a patient's body, such as a shoulder, pursuant to a treatment process. The system monitors, controls, and/or provides feedback relative to shoulder factors including shoulder motion, shoulder muscle contraction, and external pressure on the shoulder.

A shoulder-immoblizing apparatus includes a forearm sling. The forearm sling is configured to receive an elbow, forearm and wrist of a first arm of a user and includes a first fastener configured for fastening a posterior strap to a proximal portion adjacent to the elbow, a second fastener configured for fastening an anterior strap to a distal portion adjacent to the wrist, and a contralateral strap holder. The contralateral strap holder includes a circumferential shoulder strap configured to wrap around a shoulder of a second arm of the user to form a substantially ellipsoid opening that seats against a pectoral region, a scapular region and one of an underarm region or a lateral outside portion of the shoulder of the user's second arm. The posterior and anterior straps each have swivel fasteners rotatably coupled to respective posterior and anterior portions of the circumferential shoulder strap. Related methods are also provided.
