The Mobile Arm Support, conceived and researched by Dr. Radulovic, is intended for the use of patients whose arm is afflicted. The support consists of a supporting harness, an articulated splint on which the arm is fixed and a pneumatic system of elevation that counterbalances the weight of the arm. Its originality lies in the use of a splint as a simple lever, supported by a spherical articulation, located as close as possible to the centre of the scapulohumeral joint and linking shoulder and arm movements. A clinical study involving 18 patients has shown that the support reduces pain, increases ranges of movement of the shoulder and elbow, and increases functional possibilities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
