Orthomerica Highlander Shoulder Sling helps with shoulder issues, like when the shoulder partially dislocates or dislocates often. Keeps the upper arm bone in place and stops the tendons and ligaments from stretching due to weak muscles around the shoulder after a stroke, torn ligament, or nerve injury. Keeps the shoulder joint in the right position when the muscles aren't working well. The parts around the shoulder spread the weight of the arm to reduce any pain. The scapular and upper arm pieces can be changed to fit different patients, and the plastic parts are padded and don't touch the skin.
