medi Shoulder action
medi Shoulder action as dynamic stabiliser
The medi Shoulder action is a shoulder support with a defined limitation of the range of movement. The clever strap system prevents harmful joint movement sideways away from the body (abduction) and harmful outward turning of the arm (external rotation) and also limits how far the arm can be lifted forwards (anteversion) whilst at the same time ensuring that controlled movements are possible.
The shoulder support acts as a dynamic stabiliser that balances stabilisation and mobilisation.
medi Shoulder action also ensures high wearing comfort during increased activity or physical stresses in sport. It is simple to put on and wear under loose clothing.
The 'medi Shoulder Action Support' can be used for all indications which require reinforcement and stabilisation of physiological shoulder joint movement.
Use in mild to moderate instability of the shoulder joint. The support is also used for stabilisation after acute and multiple (habitual) dislocations of the shoulder (subluxation or dislocation of the shoulder) if this is treated conservatively (without an operation). The shoulder brace can also be used in the second phase of treatment after surgery for shoulder instability.
medi Shoulder action guarantees adequate basic movements. At the same time, the individually adjustable strap system prevents vulnerable movement by setting the limitation of motion.
The strap between the chest and the arm can be selected from two different strap lengths; the shorter variant limits movement more.
Furthermore, fine adjustment of this dynamic stabilisation is possible by the individually adjustable pretension of the straps. The thin breathable material ensures pleasant wearing properties. Thus medi Shoulder action is also eminently suitable as shoulder support for everyday activities and when returning to sporting activities.
Product features
- Allows basic mobility within allowed range of motion and prevents vulnerable movements
- Thin and breathable material for good wearing comfort even during high sportive activity
- Simple application without additional help
- Easy adjustment of the orthosis
- Possibility to wear the product beneith wide cut clothes directly on the skin
Intended purpose
medi Shoulder action is a shoulder joint brace with defined limitation of the range of motion.
Indications
All indications which require reinforcement and stabilisation of physiological shoulder joint movement, such as:
• Mild to middling instability of the shoulder joint
• Treatment following acute and habitual dislocated shoulder or subluxation
• Rehabilitation phase following operative therapy for shoulder instability
All indications that require positioning in abduction or external rotation
