Customers like the quality and pain relief of the brace. They say it works well enough to do the job and helps reduce pain. However, some customers have reported issues with the fit, saying it's too small or too large. Opinions are mixed on comfort, stability, ease of use, value, and adjustability.
AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the quality of the orthopedic brace. They say it works well enough to do the job, is well made, and is an inventive device. Some mention that the brace is very helpful, especially during the acute period.
"...The Vive SB works great. I've been wearing it at night and it provides enough support while allowing me to sleep comfortably throughout the night...." Read more
"...Delivered on time, in excellent condition, and with a product registration card and an opportunity for 20% off future purchases on their website." Read more
"...My shoulder isn't healed completely yet but is about 80% better that it was 3 months ago...." Read more
"...But - it's well made. Now for the smell. Before I bought, I asked about the neoprene off-gassing. I'm hyper sensitive to chemical odors...." Read more
Customers like the pain relief provided by the orthopedic brace. For example, they mention it helps reduce the pain afterwards, eases shoulder pain, and cut down the use of pain meds at night. It's good for the skin and helps to recover and get better. That said, some say it helps somewhat and is better than nothing.
"...found that wearing it at times when I walk a lot really helped reduce the pain afterwards...." Read more
"...It is much easier to position next to the skin. It does not rub my neck but I could see where it might on a smaller person with narrower shoulders...." Read more
"...The neoprene started warming up my shoulder and it quit hurting. Was able not to have to take pills or rubs when I went to bed.4...." Read more
"...It just feels awkward and makes me mad lol." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the fit of the orthopedic brace. For example, they mention that the pad made to prevent this was too small for their body, it didn't fit tight enough, and it's too big for support of the shoulder. That said, some complain that the band does not go around their chest, the sleeve could be a little longer to truly support the bicep area, and the square points catch their chest now and then.
"...It does take 2 people to put it on, each time. And it's just a smidgen too big. But, overall he's very happy as am I :)" Read more
"...My chest measurement is 42". The band does not go around your chest, rather from the shoulder diagonally across your chest and back to under..." Read more
"...purchased the Sparthos brand Shoulder Brace in universal size and it fit perfectly and has a much better strap design." Read more
"...that fits the size of the chest strap - which means the square points catch your chest now and then and are irritating as hell...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the comfort of the brace. Some mention that it works well for them, providing comfort and support to the injured shoulder area. However, others say that it's just uncomfortable, and the pain becomes unbearable. The tube shape makes it hug their arm a bit tighter than necessary, and it really hurts their right shoulder to lift it straight up or to pick up things.
"...wearing it at night and it provides enough support while allowing me to sleep comfortably throughout the night...." Read more
"...tear' only gets worse with continued use, & eventually, the pain becomes unbearable...." Read more
"...I first tried the brace on over my t-shirt. It was comfortable but a little hard to get in place with fabric bunching...." Read more
"...However, it’s just uncomfortable. This is my predominant arm so the discomfort is extremely annoying. It just feels awkward and makes me mad lol." Read more
Customers are mixed about the stability of the brace. Some mention that it provides great support and stabilizes their injury, while others say that they really didn't feel much support.
"...This brace keeps his shoulder back and in place. While he still has pain in his upper body and neck, he said it's a lot more tolerable...." Read more
"...Too tight and you cannot secure the brace high enough once the torso strap is in place, too loose and it rides up your arm and provides no support...." Read more
"...I've been wearing it at night and it provides enough support while allowing me to sleep comfortably throughout the night...." Read more
"...it was on, it felt like I was wearing shoulder pads and I really didn’t feel much support...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the orthopedic brace. Some mention that it's very easy to put on and simple to use, while others say that it is hard to put it on unless you have mirror to the shoulder. Some say that the instructions are unclear and it takes 2 people to put the brace on.
"...This brace unfortunately, isn’t that. It is not too bad to put on, but really needs to be cut a little lower on the neckline and needs a better..." Read more
"...With less pain! It does take 2 people to put it on, each time. And it's just a smidgen too big. But, overall he's very happy as am I :)" Read more
"I liked that it was easy to put on. I got because after my stroke my arm just hung down and was causing a separation in my shoulder and my arm." Read more
"...I wore it so much it became pilled and hard to Velcro together...." Read more
Customers have mixed opinions about the value of the orthopedic brace. Some find it well worth the price, while others say it was a waste of money.
"...otherwise, it was definitely worth the money. i asked the doctors i saw for something similar - most stated they did not know of any in existence...." Read more
"...I felt the price was reasonable as well...." Read more
"...Not worth the money wish I didn’t purchase, when I take it off my arm hurts more than what it did when I put it on." Read more
"...That alone makes this brace worth the money." Read more
Customers are mixed about the adjustability of the orthopedic brace. Some mention that it's easy to put on, has an adjustable strap, and belt across the chest. However, others say that it can be tough to adjust so your shoulder sits right. The strap tends to move and needs to be adjust constantly.
"...The adjustable strap sleeve is perfect to protect clothing and skin from the edges of the Velcro tab on the strap end, I just slide the sleeve over..." Read more
"...A little hard to put on and adjust as well. Overall not happy and stopped using it." Read more
"...This product is reasonably comfortable and easily adjustable. It uses Velcro to adjust the strap across the chest and Velcro to adjust the sleeve...." Read more
"...on either the right or left shoulder it is near impossible and hard to adjust to a good comfort level that provides the needed comfort and range of..." Read more

This product is reasonably comfortable and easily adjustable. It uses Velcro to adjust the strap across the chest and Velcro to adjust the sleeve. There is a comfortable Velcro "guard" that products your back from the scratchiness of the Velcro, however, there is one lacking for the front (I cut a hole in a sock and it did the job well enough). This product does not breath well - wearing it around during the day produced a lot of sweat.
I have had shoulder pain as a result of over-use on and off for some time (this time it was from swinging a pick-axe for several hours on end). Typically, I just wait it out until it heals up and the pain goes away. Thought I would give a brace a try and ended up wearing it to bed every night for a week or two. The pain went away fairly quickly and my shoulder felt better than it had in a long time.
I would recommend this product despite its drawbacks.
I found that this brace is difficult to put on by myself (think: one handed). If the brace is not positioned properly and snugged down, the brace is less effective. Given some of the more positive reviews my expectation is that this should prevent or reduce joint dislocation thereby minimizing additional damage to the rotator cuff. I'm not yet convinced that the device will be that effective.
The ad photos showing the brace positioned on bare skin is misleading. Unless the brace is positioned over a shirt or other barrier the brace will irritate your skin. Over an undershirt the device is quite comfortable.
Wearing the brace, despite my wearing it incorrectly at times, reminds me to minimize the use of the arm in order to reduce additional damage to my shoulder. That alone makes this brace worth the money.
Amazon even lists on the product page the item is eligible for return, refund or replacement within 30 days. After the hopeless runaround between Amazon and Vive, we have a useless brace to donate. While it was not much money, we expect much better customer service. We have never had this happen before with Amazon. Very disappointed with both Vive and Amazon for this purchase.

Seemed to ship with the wrong manual -- manual implied there were two Velcro straps around the bicep, but there was only one. only a minor issue.
Thank you for a great product. It really helps my shoulder.
