The AngelMed Scapulothoracic Rehab Gilet
An award-winning brace innovation and trusted frontline treatment for Scapulothoracic Abnormal Motion (STAM) and all severity of closed clavicle fracture.
This powerful unique, patented brace, in the stye of a gilet waistcoat, works by resetting wrong muscle patterning both mechanically, and through biofeedback for dramatic improving to posture and a better understanding of how good posture should feel.
Wearing the gilet for as little as 2-3 hours a day can be sufficient for the brain to accept new muscle patterning, resulting in a transformation in shoulder position, torso alignment and overall improvement in posture.
With improved neuromuscular control and musculoskeletal alignment, shoulder position, strength and range of arm movement is restored, with neck stiffness and pain reduced or eliminated altogether. Once muscle memory is established the gilet need only be worn Intermittently eliminating any risk of dependency on bracing.
What is Scapulothoracic abnormal motion?
Scapulothoracic abnormal motion (STAM) is a group of scapular conditions, including scapular dyskinesis and medial or lateral scapular winging, that can lead to chronic pain, weakness, limited motion, and deformity.

KEY POINTS
Successfully treats Scapular Dyskinesis (winging shoulder blade(s), all closed clavicle (collarbone) fractures, including those normally surgically plated, skeletal deformity and many other injuries and conditions of the torso.
Accredited by leading consultants and practitioners.
Stimulates essential bio-feedback for better proprioception and neuromuscular control i.e. a better brain-body connection and knowing where your shoulders are together with an understanding of how 'good posture' should feel.
Suitable for continious and extended wear thanks to the use of specially developed breathable fabrics.
Powerful components fix and hold shoulder blades (scapulae) down to the chest wall delivering better shoulder function, stability and strength.
Improves musculoskeletal alignment improving body symmetry balance, strength, nerve and blood flow.
Lifts the diaphragm up and away from pelvic activity, improving posture and easing strain in the lower back.
Allows freedom of movement, including arms reaching forwards upwards and backwards. Does not cut-up at the underarms or restrict blood supply to the arms or cause pressure on nerves.
An important posture correction device for use in the office, driving, and when lifting and twisting the torso.
Can be worn to improve performance during sports activities and gym training sessions. Used by athletes for muscle correction and after competitions to improve recovery time.
Proven as an important adjunct to rehabilitation therapy, as a post-surgery safeguard, and as an effective solution where surgery is contra-indicated.
How it works
A close-fit gilet style design hugs the contours of the body and follows musculoskeletal structures like a second skin.
Specially developed highly breathable fabrics provide comfort and prevent overheating making long term, continuous wear possible when necessary.
Components have been cleverly and discreetly integrated throughout the gilet.
- A figure of eight style shoulder retraction system draws the shoulders back.
- Cut-away design allows forward arm movement.
- Special high resistance foam padding at the front of each shoulder protects nerves and blood supply to the arms.
- Strategically placed splinting, sewn into the front panels, attach to finger-like splints over the shoulder blades (scapulae). When the straps, located under either arm, are tightened an equal and opposite force is created lifting both the diaphragm, and locking down the shoulder blades to the chest wall.
- Splinting to either side of the spine supports spinal structures.
- An internal stretch belt holds the gilet in place when traction is placed on the shoulders.
- Wide stretch external hip pulls fasten forward to stabilise the pelvis.

Why is good posture so difficult to achieve?
Modern living persistently contributes to bad posture, and subsequently muscle memory reduction, increasing the incidence of shoulder malfunction.
Our shoulder blades (Sacpulae) dictate the position of our shoulders. Wearing the gilet helps establish 'good posture, thereby avoiding chronic often debilitating conditions.
It is particularly useful for shoulder related issues and lower back pain. It is also known to alleviate COPD and works by expanding the diaphragm thereby reducing steroid puffer use.
