Detailed description

Upper limb (UL) impairment is a common deficit following stroke with only an estimated 20 per cent of patients recovering function. Pain associated with UL impairment due to multifactorial causes is a frequent symptom in patients with stroke. Occupational therapy techniques focus on the implementation of positioning techniques and the use of supportive devices (SD) such as slings aimed to prevent pain; therefore increase daily function, participation and hence quality of life. At present, positioning principles of the hemiplegic shoulder exist in clinical practice. These are aimed at prevention of pain associated with UL Impairment; however there is no clear consensus among professionals of particular SD that should be implemented for adults with stroke
