A shoulder brace includes a shoulder joint member and a tension trigger which provides compression or relaxation of the joint member such that a patient's shoulder joint is compressed in an anterior-posterior direction when the patient's arm is moved into a danger zone, in order to prevent anterior dislocation of the shoulder joint. The shoulder joint member is provided with a cushion generally aligned with the humeral head. The shoulder brace includes an alignment strap wrapped around the patient's chest and pivotally attached to the shoulder joint member so that movement of the patient's arm is not inhibited.
