Orthomerica Newport Shoulder Orthosis

Newport® Shoulder System This pre-fabricated or custom-to-measurements orthosis utilizes the unique Newport 3 Hip Orthosis pelvic components to allow for full pelvic weight bearing, eliminating the need for shoulder straps which are often uncomfortable. Unique shoulder joint controls adduction/ abduction, flexion/extension, and rotation of the shoulder and arm, offering the orthopaedic professional a true choice of positions. Lined with neoprene, the orthosis is lightweight, comfortable, and easy to don and doff. Replacement pads are available. Scapular stabilization prevents anterior movement of the scapula so that connective tissue between the shoulder and the scapula is not stretched. This feature is designed to prevent or treat adhesive capsulitis (reduced range of motion of the shoulder joint) which often occurs following shoulder surgery.
