Is anyone aware of such a device used in conjunction with a spear? It's probably not very practical for the extra point of damage even if one is able to make it work.

Such a brace would make the spear much less able to be maneuvered. I suspect anyone using a spear this way in a fight would get selected out of the gene pool pretty quickly.
