ABSTRACT:
This invention relates generally to a unique arm support device in which the shoulder straps are designed to evenly distribute the weight of the person's arm evenly across both shoulders and not put a side or forward stress on the wearer's neck. This device also allows a patient, such as a stroke victim who has the use of only one arm and hand, to put this sling on and remove it without assistance.
