    This study introduces a new custom-fit shoulder support for stroke patients, effectively reducing shoulder subluxation and pain. The innovative design offers a cost-effective and comfortable alternative to conventional slings.

    Area of Science:

    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Biomechanics
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Shoulder subluxation is a frequent complication post-stroke.
    • Existing shoulder supports often fail to adequately reduce subluxation and alleviate associated pain.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a novel, custom-fit shoulder support system for reducing subluxation and pain in stroke survivors.
    • To compare the efficacy, comfort, and cost of the new support against conventional slings.

    Main Methods:

    • A custom-fit, two-part shoulder and forearm support system was designed and implemented.
    • Patients utilized the support during ambulation, standing, and sitting.
    • Radiographic (X-ray) confirmation of subluxation reduction was performed.
    • Patient-reported outcomes regarding pain and comfort were collected.

    Main Results:

    • X-rays verified significant reduction in shoulder subluxation.
    • Patients reported a notable decrease in shoulder pain.
    • The custom support was found to be more comfortable and cost-effective than traditional slings, despite initial difficulty in donning.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel shoulder support system effectively reduces subluxation and pain in stroke patients.
    • This custom-fit device presents a promising, more comfortable, and economical alternative to conventional slings for post-stroke shoulder management.
