Claim 7:
8. A device that is configured to place an associate shoulder of a patient in an adducted position that stretches a shoulder capsule, the device comprising:
a forearm support member that is configured to secure to at least a forearm of a patient; and
a torso connection member that is positioned and is configured to secure proximate an iliac crest of the patient;
wherein the forearm support member couples with the torso connection member in such a way that an elbow of the patient is configured to be proximate to a torso of the patient; and
wherein the forearm support member and a coronal plane of the patient is approximately normal to one another using a dynamic tensioning assembly, the dynamic tensioning assembly comprising an elastomeric or resilient strap that couples to an outer surface of the forearm support member, a dial tensioning member, and a cable extending through dial tensioning member and coupled to the elastomeric or resilient strap, the dial tensioning member being placed on the torso connection member, wherein rotation of the dial tensioning member causes the cable to tension the elastomeric or resilient strap, resulting in external rotation of the forearm support member, wherein tensioning of the elastomeric or resilient strap creates a force applied to the forearm support member that is configured to cause the stretching of the shoulder capsule.
