This paper investigates the use of shoulder supports with stroke patients in Canada and compares the results of two survey questionnaires carried out in 1984 and 1994. It describes which shoulder supports therapists are using with stroke patients and which goals they hope to achieve with specific supports. The Lapboard, Cuff Type Sling, and Arm Trough Support were the most frequently used supports at both time periods. The most frequent goal chosen for each of these three most frequently chosen supports was the same at both time periods but were chosen significantly less frequently in 1994. There was a significant decrease in the use of the Bobath Axial Roll over the ten-year period. This follow up questionnaire documents the limited changes which have occurred in the last ten years in the management of the shoulder following stroke, raises some questions about this area of practice, and outlines some solutions including the need to base occupational therapy practice on more evidence.
