Shoulder Abduction Orthoses Treatment Options
Shoulder abduction orthoses offer various treatment options tailored to individual needs and conditions. Common treatment options include:
Slings
Slings are essential post-surgical tools designed to support the weight of the forearm and hand while maintaining the arm slightly away from the body. Abduction slings are crucial after rotator cuff surgery to keep the tendons relaxed and promote healing. They come in various types, including single-strap designs for simplicity and ease of use, multiple-strap slings for added stability, and humeral-cuff slings, which provide targeted support to the upper arm and shoulder.
Shoulder Joint Support Braces
These braces are strategically anchored across the body to distribute weight and reduce strain on the shoulder joint. They offer stability and support during recovery from injuries like shoulder dislocations or fractures. Immobilizing the joint and surrounding muscles facilitates healing and prevents further damage.
Compression Braces
Compression braces are designed to apply gentle and uniform pressure to the shoulder area. This pressure helps reduce swelling, improve circulation, and support the injured tissues. By compressing the affected area, these braces can alleviate discomfort and aid in the healing process, making them suitable for conditions such as shoulder strains or mild injuries.
Stabilizing Bracings
Stabilizing braces focus on limiting excessive movement of the shoulder joint. They are equipped with features that restrict rotational and lateral movements, thereby preventing further injury and promoting recovery. Stabilizing braces are commonly used during rehabilitation from shoulder surgeries or to manage chronic shoulder instability.
Custom-Fit Braces
Custom-fit braces are individually tailored to fit the patient's unique anatomy and specific injury. By ensuring a precise fit, these braces maximize comfort and effectiveness. Customization considers factors such as body shape, injury severity, and therapeutic goals, making them optimal for personalized orthotic care. These braces provide targeted support and stability, enhancing mobility and faster recovery.
