S3 Spine Scapula Stabilizer Brace by Alignmed

The Spine Scapula Stabilizer Brace, S3 by AlignMed is designed to help restore normal shoulder kinematics. This brace attempts to achieve this objective with Velcro strapping system coupled with proprioceptive padding and mesh vest to allow biofeedback to patients. This neural feedback, along with the vest's innate postural support, could potentially emphasize proper shoulder muscular mechanics. The vest comes in numerous sizes and is custom fit to each patient.

General information:

  • Improves shoulder and spine function by optimizing scapular position, spinal alignment and proprioceptive retraining.

  • This dynamic and functional brace is ideal for rehab, daily living and sports related activities.

  • Is perfect for pre- and post- operative rehabilitation and compliments physical therapy.

  • Proper rehabilitation, accompanied by the S3, allows a patient to reeducate the body and to find the correct proprioceptive position.

  • Retrains muscles in the shoulder to properly align the shoulder joint.

  • Shows to be unique in its ability to correctly position the scapula allowing the kinetic energy to flow efficiently from the trunk into the upper extremities.
