ABSTRACT:
A hemi-arm sling incorporates a resilient and adjustable abduction control strap to provide support to the affected arm and shoulder area. The cuff portion of the sling is also adjustable and includes an arm engaging section and a shoulder engaging section. A chest strap attached to the shoulder engaging section wraps around the back of the patient, under the axilla of the unaffected arm, across the chest and is attached to a ring connected to the front of the cuff. The adjustable, resilient abduction control strap is fastened to the rear of the cuff at one end and is selectively attachable to the rear portion of the chest strap at the other. Mateable hook and loop material is employed to connect the abduction control strap to the rear of the chest strap. The same mateable material is employed to attach the chest strap to the ring on the front of the cuff. The hemi-arm sling is employable in rehabilitation programs to prevent dislocation of the shoulder.
