It's better than nothing, that's for sure
For some reason the seller has posted the instructions for use on the product page but doesn't include them with the item itself, so that was annoying. The item itself fits even though I'm a chubby guy and seems to be helping- it definitely limits range of motion but still allows me to use the affected arm. However, the body strap itself is too flimsy, and ends up folding/rolling/moving out of position whenever I move my upper body. This means that this thing has to be adjusted every 1-2 hours to keep it in the proper position. Otherwise the strap eventually migrates up into my armpit, and at the point the sling serves no purpose. Would work better (but look dorkier) if it came with a 2nd Velcro strap that went from the body strap to a belt buckle and hold it down where it goes.<br /><br />UPDATE: The seller emailed, called, and texted me over a period of 3 weeks before sending me another one of these braces just to show that they now include the instructions. They still lose a star for poor design and incessant contact
