Does this brace allows full range motion?

Yes it does. Remember that if you tighten it to much it will restrict your movement.

Isaac I found that it allowed all the range of motion that I needed too compete in tournamens and it wasn't uncomfortable too wear.

It does but it's a little limiting. Very sturdy so I would say it allows almost full range of motion.

Personally I used the brace for support while playing basketball. It was relatively comfortable and gave me a lot of side-to-side stability while still allowing full forward and backward movements.

I don't feel any metal in my brace. it is very flexible and works great for me.

You probably COULD, but it wouldn't be a good serve. The brace is very supportive but really not good for using your range of motion - there's not a lot of "give" to it.

I use mine while doing aikido so I need the support but I also need to move freely without the brace sleeping. I guess it really depends on what your use in going to be. I need support but also need full range of motion so mine is tight but absolutely not circulation stopping. I look at this as a helping hand for my knee but not an absolute supporting structure if that makes sense. Hope this helps.

Yes. It's adjustable. Not sure the fullmeasurement it can handle but it is adjustable.

Yes it does since the brace itself is very firm when worn semi tightly around your waist causing your spine to align itself correctly. But if your a heavly sloucher then it probably will not help. Best way to fix posture is always be aware of it.

Mine has not stretched out of shape, in spite of regular wear. The side support is probably the most helpful part of the design and, I think that stretching/loosening would defeat the purpose and design of the stabilizers. And it would not be at all helpful if the brace is too sight. Ask your doctor for advice. If you are purchasing this in a pharmacy, ask the pharmacist or pharmacy tech for assistance. And ask if the item can be exchanged it it's too snug, or tto loose.

No. I was not impressed with the "brace"- it really did not add that much stability- much better products available

I bought this brace hoping my elderly father could use it but since he doesn't live with me, I didn't think he could follow the instructions by himself. So I returned it. Never tried it. Maybe someone else can answer your question.

Yes, I've used it during my workouts and brace does not feel like it's in the way

Yes. Actually, this brace is designed to be worn on either hand (thumb opening on both sides of the "sleeve").

First, I place it next to my skin and wear all clothing over it. I strap it fairly tight and at a bit of an angle (so that it's a bit tighter at the top). I can sweat in this and even ride my horse wearing this and have never even had it shift. Perhaps my particular leg shape works well with this brace, but I love it.

No lt is not really a brace it is just for support the stabilizers are not that strong they are just wire.

Yes, this has a very good range of motion. The key is to adjust the different tension points so it stays when you want, but can be easily shifted when you don't. You can actually get the bottom of the monitor below the mounting surface if you mount the arm low enough on the vertical component. I use it with two 24" monitors on a desk/table that raises and lowers, so I can use this sitting or standing and it meets all of my range needs. I am 6', so that is a good range.

i am no expert but I surmise it will....because your shoulder will be positioned as you like it which should promote better posture. The brace is an individualized matter as witnessed by the other answers to this question. I can only say it has worked for me and has allowed me to continue activities that I could not have without it. However, posture was not my problem. In my opinion, I do not believe you will be sad you purchased the brace.

Kim, I don't believe so because I regularly do my exercises at the gym. Also, I am not dependent on the brace, I wear it only to help me heal whenever I hurt my back.
