I would agree that most slings do constrict movement and hold the arm in an abnormal posture. However, there are some cases that a sling would be useful. If the person has no movement of the arm and has a subluxation. There is sling designed by an OT and PT called Giv-Mohr. It stabilizes the shoulder while allowing the arm to hang by the patients waist as it normally would. I have used it with a few patient who report more comfort in the shoulder with it then without. If you want more information I believe they have a website. If not e-mail me and I'll give you there number. Kris Fell
