An adjustable shoulder brace is provided for stabilizing and immobilizing the shoulder following an injury or surgical trauma to the soft tissue thereof. The shoulder brace is mountable on the arm and torso to isolate the shoulder and is fully adjustable across the abduction, flexion and rotation ranges of motion of the shoulder to enable fixation of the shoulder in virtually any rehabilitative position. The brace is made up of a series of rigid support members secured to the body of the patient, and a plurality of selectively rotatable and lockable joints adjustably interconnecting the support members. The combined effect of the joints simulates the entire range of motion of the shoulder.

Fully adjustable shoulder brace

An orthopedic brace is provided which includes a pair of arms joined by a hinge about which the arms pivot relative to each other. The brace also includes pins for adjustably limiting the pivot range of the arms, members for retaining the pins in operable position during use of the brace and for retaining the pins in pivotal connection with the brace during repositioning of the pins, and a cover with a lid thereon for selectively accessing the pins and enabling repositioning of them as desired.
