ABSTRACT:
Support arrangement for supporting the arm of a patient in a bent position of the upper arm relative to the lower arm. The support arrangement includes a holding bag, which on an upper side is attachable in a hanging manner to a support. The holding bag forms a bottom side configured for the upper arm and forms a first side configured for the underside of the bent lower arm. The holding bag is made exclusively of textile-like material and consists of a flat cut, folded and sewn up on the upper and lower sides. A second side of the holding bag facing the upper arm is formed so as to be closeable, and at least one cord for closing the second side and at least one fastening cord for fastening the holding sack at its upper side are provided. The holding bag may be formed tapered at its width at least on the upper side. The holding bag may be formed open in the tapered region both on the side facing the upper arm and on the side turned away from the upper arm. At least one pair of cords may be provided, each pair consisting of one cord attached to each position of the holding bag. The pair of fastening cords may consist of a shorter and a longer fastening cord. A seam may be provided on the upper side and the pair of fastening cords may be formed of a one-piece cord led through on the underside of the seam. The holding bag is dimensioned in such a manner that a freedom of movement is ensured for the lower arm located within it. The holding bag may be formed double-layered over the entire side facing the upper arm. The holding bag may be formed double-layered in the open side-region of the side facing the lower arm. The tapered region may have a length that corresponds approximately to a third of the overall length of the holding bag.
