Abstract

Shoulder joint bandage with a tubular section which envelops the upper arm and a shoulder top piece connecting thereto to whose edge on the neck side retaining straps are fastened of which one--in the form of a back strap--traverses the back diagonally and envelops the hip under the armpit of the shoulder which is opposite to the shoulder top piece whereas the other is led at least partially--in the form of a chest strap--over the side of the chest to this hip where the back strap and chest strap cross and continue in their direction, in each case, on the other side of the body into the other half of the body. The two continuation belts at the upper arm located near the hip in question envelop this in the opposite direction from the hip side whereby the end of each continuation belt is attached, in each case, to the same continuation belt after enveloping the upper arm.
