[0045] Figures 1 to 5A shoulder support according to this application is shown. The shoulder support includes a silicone elastomer 100, a first fixing strap 110, and a second fixing strap 120. The silicone elastomer 100 has an expanding end 102 and a contracting end 103. The expanding end 102 is used to cover the shoulder of a human body, and the contracting end 103 is used to cover the arm of a human body. The distance between the two sides of the expanding end 102 is greater than the distance between the two sides of the contracting end 103. The inner side of the silicone elastomer 100 is adhesively bonded to the human body. The first fixing strap 110 is detachably connected to the expanding end 102 and is used to wrap around the armpit of a human body. The second fixing strap 120 is fixedly connected to the contracting end 103 and is used to wrap around the arm of a human body.

[0046] The first fixing strap 110 is pulled under the armpit of the human body, thereby applying a traction force to the silicone elastomer 100, so that the silicone elastomer 100 and the second fixing strap 120 apply a traction force to the human arm, thereby reducing the load of the human arm on the human shoulder.

[0047] According to the shoulder support of this application, in use, the first fixing strap 110 is wrapped around the armpit of the human body, and the human arm is passed between the second fixing strap 120 and the contraction end 103, so that the expansion end 102 of the silicone elastomer 100 covers the shoulder of the human body, and the silicone elastomer 100 is adhered to the human body by adhesive. The elasticity of the silicone elastomer 100 can support the movement of the human arm and can transmit the traction force of the human neck to the human arm, reducing the load on the human shoulder, thereby aiding in human rehabilitation. In addition, the shoulder support of this application is simple to operate, easy to use, and convenient to use.
