Clinical Scenario: Shoulder instability is one of the most common injuries in collegiate football players. Functional bracing is used as a non-operative method for shoulder instability because it helps reduce the hypermobility of the shoulder. However, no studies have critically reviewed the evidence investigating the uses of functional bracing in preventing shoulder injuries and limiting range of motion in collegiate football players. This study would provide a critically appraised summary of the best available evidence for the use of functional shoulder bracing in football athletes. Clinical Question: Can a functional shoulder brace prevent shoulder pathology and improve shoulder range of motion in college football players? Summary of Key Findings: Overall, we searched multiple databases and found four articles supporting the concept of shoulder bracing. Findings showed that shoulder bracing on its own does not prevent shoulder pathologies. However, the bracing showed a protective function in the shoulder range of motion. A functional brace was found to restrict active and passive range of motions in the abduction and external rotation in college football players. Clinical Bottom Line: Shoulder bracing is effective in limiting the range of motions, but it does not prevent shoulder pathologies in collegiate football players. Further research is needed. Strength of Recommendation: Limited quality evidence (grade B) suggests that shoulder bracing alone protects shoulder hypermobility, but it does not reduce the risk of shoulder pathology.
