What is an Abduction Sling?
The Jura Abduction Sling is a classic sling connected through Velcro strips to a small pillow that fits the side of the trunk. The forearm rests over the pillow, keeping the shoulder slightly separated from the body, resulting in reduced pressure.
What is the Benefit of an Abduction Sling?
The separation of the shoulder from the body through the pillow is called "abduction" which helps relax some of the muscles of the shoulder, protecting them while they heal. The Jura Abduction Sling also keeps the shoulder in some degree of outward or external rotation, which is beneficial for recovery.
How Can the Arm/Shoulder Sling Help Me?
According to a study on the effects of abduction pillows on rotator cuff repair, it was found that an abduction pillow/object decreases tension placed on rotator cuff repair compared to no pillow (sling only).
How Does the Exercise Ball Help?
The Jura Abduction Sling comes with a detachable exercise ball. It helps improve muscle tone of the hand and forearm and keeps the arm active while it is healing.
