HARNESS FOR PREVENTING GLENO-HUMERAL JOINT SUBLUXATION

摘要

The harness includes a torso engaging device made of nylon strips conformed in a figure eight pattern; the arms of the wearer extending through the loops. An arm cuff is also provided which engages about the upper arm of the wearer and is connected to the torso engaging device by means of rubber tubings which act to limit range of motion of the arm. Also, to keep the torso engaging device from riding up around the arms of the wearer, further rubber tubings engage a lower torso strip section to clips engaged to the harness wearer's belt. The harness can be used for either arm, or both arms, as desired. Also, with simple modifications, the harness could be used to control range of motion of other joints as well.
