Does it help withthe shoulder blade at all? If not do you have a shoulder brace that can help with the shoulder & the shoulder blade?

I didn't feel any support for the shoulder blade, it was mainly for the upper arm i guess but even then it was too uncomfortable to wear.

Sounds like what you really need are scapular stabilization exercises - try the book Bulletproof Your Shoulder.

It is a generally excellent product for what it need, but I have no information about effect on a shoulder blade problem.

It's very protective in keeping the shoulder stabilized and is a visual sign for those approaching to use caution.The support does an excellent job in securing the shoulder, but remain alert. There are people who ignore all the signs and plunged found right into the top of the shoulder brace.

No. The mainspring that hols the blade open applies pressure on the blade through opening but does not assist in the opening.

I wore it for the 3 hours and was able to do a few things that I haven't been able to do, and it helped. It didn't fully get rid of the pain, but it definitely helped it a little. I'm not sure if it would prevent further injury, my shoulder is so bad that i can't lift my arm

I had a rotator cuff injury and got the classic size sold here. If you are in a lot of pain and just starting therapy, you may want to start with the yellow smaller Bodyblade® CxT Kit. The body blade helped me tremendously. I didn't start using it until after I went through conventional physical therapy - which never completely helped me. Since using the Body Blade, I have zero pain even though I had two partially torn rotator cuffs and bicep impingement.

Yes I have, its a bit cumbersome when fully extended but it dose allow me work on queen palms. My palms are getting very tall and have very big palm fronds so generally only use the blade as the pruner is now to small for my trees. This has paid for its self!

Yes, the blade does lock in place, and the spring assist works great. Overall, it's a great knife.

I was a little concerned about that myself being mechanically handicapped. But it lined up perfectly with the little nubs that help secure the blade. This was a 5 yr old Cub Cadet. Hope it helps.

I'd check out "Bulletproof Your Shoulder" if you want some good rotator cuff exercises. While the bodyblade has been shown to activate the shoulder muscles better than traditional exercises, there is no research showing the bodyblade results in greater strength increases in the shoulder muscles than traditional rehab exercises. Of course you will get more muscle activation in all the shoulder muscles with the bodyblade, that's simply because the joint is being shaken and is trying to stabilize itself - but this doesn't necessarily mean it will make the muscles any stronger than doing traditional shoulder/rotator cuff exercise with a dumbbell. Similarly, let's say you want to make your quads stronger. if I have you shake your leg, you will get more muscle activity in many more leg muscles than if you did the leg extension machine - but then shaking your leg won't make your quads specifically stronger than the progressive resistance exercise provided by the leg extension machine. Having said that, the bodyblade is a great tool, and I would use it (and similar devices) more to enhance dynamic stability of a joint, rather than to outright make a specific muscle group (such as your rotator cuff muscles) a lot stronger. And do keep in mind that what exercise you choose to do depends on your goals (joint stability vs general conditioning vs specific muscle group strengthening). More research will tell the tale - hope this helps.

It's universal...you can use it on either shoulder. I love my brace because it is the ONLY thing that gives me relief from my pain. It is well made, and works, but make sure you order one size up, because they are a little smaller than the size ordered. So if you need a medium, order the large. I hope this helps.

I don't believe the sleeve mechanism on this support is intended for compression. This sleeve component is really only used to support and stabilize the shoulder. I recommend using the compression sleeve if you require muscle support, while this shoulder support provide the ortho/ shoulder stability.

no It hasn't but I have a shoulder length cut right now but maybe if it were longer it could? I love it though! Its a great necklace looks good and the baby loves it!!

Never did it but it should work. Worked well for me with a shoulder injury.

I think it does. I was having an issue with my shoulder, bought this shirt and I had less to no pain while I wore it vs. not wearing it. I don't know if it was just a coincidence but I think it may have worked.

No...it is a spring assist blade. The user must apply some pressure on the actuator to initiate the opeing of the blade

As I use this device for posture support and do not have an injury I can put in on by myself. I adjust the tightness with it off first then I raise both hands over my head and slide it down so it is loosely on top of my shoulders. I then pull one shoulder back at a time to get it in position. Someone with an injury, such as a clavicle fracture which is what this device is designed for, would need assistance to get it in place.

Yes it does. Make sure you have strong black thread and good needle. Shoulder straps will break fast

It should be able to do the shoulder area (scapula) but it is not going to do the neck area.
