Abstract

We reported three types of newly designed arm slings (the ￠æ"V" strap pouch arm sling, the Modified hemisling, the Tripod arm sling). The three slings and the conventional hemisling were all tested by a single stroke patient for the correction of shoulder subluxation. Sling effectiveness was evaluated by simple shoulder AP X-rays, quantitative electromyography (root mean square; RMS), strap tension, and preference of the patient. Of the four types, the ￠æ"V" strap pouch arm sling reduced the vertical displacement the most. RMS values of the supraspinatus muscle tended decrease and strap tension was also lower after using the ￠æ"V" strap pouch arm sling compared with others. The patient also preferred the ￠æ"V" strap pouch arm sling to the other slings. We suggested that ￠æ"V" strap pouch arm sling was the most effective among four types of arm slings (including conventional hemisling) for the correction of shoulder subluxation, and patient’s preference.
