Shoulder pain is a common problem encountered in many medical practices. There is a protean source of such pain including adhesive capsulities, rotator cuff injuries, fractures, muscle sprains and strains. In all of these; pain is worsened by any weight-bearing on the affected shoulder during the acute or recovery phase of the injury. In some cases, shoulder pain results exclusively from frequent sleeping on one shoulder.;Hence, the Ortho Shoulder Ball which as described is a tennis size ball attached to a Velcro strap and worn around the shoulder at night to prevent one from bearing weight on the affected shoulder while sleeping.;The ball is solid but light-weight 6.5 cm and 60 g affixed to the Velcro strap and all materials skin-friendly and do not present any health hazards to the strap area except in case of possible allergic reactions.;The Ortho Shoulder Ball will be able to prevent shoulder pain by preventing weight bearing when affected patients are sleeping at night; which is not uncommon. |
