Shoulder Stabilizer Orthotic Treatment Options
Shoulder stabilizer orthotics are essential in treating various ailments and afflictions that affect shoulder stability. Depending on the specific diagnosis and requirements of the patient, treatment options may include:
Shoulder Sling
A shoulder sling is a supportive device to immobilize the joint following injury or surgery. It typically consists of a fabric strap that loops around the neck and supports the injured arm in a comfortable, elevated position. The sling restricts shoulder movement, allowing tissues to heal and preventing further injury. It provides stability while allowing some range of motion as medical professionals prescribe, promoting recovery and comfort.
Shoulder Immobilization Vest
An immobilization vest is a specialized orthotic device that stabilizes the shoulder joint by restricting movement across the chest and shoulders. It securely immobilizes the arm close to the body, supporting and preventing excessive motion that could aggravate injuries such as dislocations or fractures. The vest is adjustable to ensure a snug fit and is often used post-operatively or during rehabilitation to aid healing and recovery.
Shoulder Immobilization Sling
A shoulder immobilization sling is similar to a standard shoulder sling but is specifically designed to fully stabilize the shoulder joint. It provides complete support by securely holding the arm in a fixed position against the body. This sling type is used when minimal shoulder movement is required for optimal healing, such as severe fractures or dislocations. The sling is adjustable and padded for comfort, ensuring stability and protection during recovery.
Abduction Pad
An abduction pad is an orthotic device that maintains shoulder joint alignment and promotes healing after surgery or injury. It consists of a cushioned pad positioned between the arm and the body to keep the arm slightly away from the torso, maintaining the shoulder in an abducted position. This helps prevent contractures and maintains proper shoulder mechanics during recovery. Abduction pads are often used with slings or vests to provide comprehensive immobilization and support.
