Comparative Effectiveness of the GivMohr Sling in Subjects With Flaccid Upper Limbs on Subluxation Through Radiologic Analysis

An unimpaired subject demonstrating the GivMohr sling. (A) From the side showing the elastic straps crossing at the wrist and the horizontal elbow strap distal to the olecranon. The horizontal elbow strap is attached with self-adhesive and can be adjusted higher or lower. (B) From the front showing the anterior elastic strap on the UL and the webbing straps in front of the shoulders with the buckle for adjustment. (C) From the back showing the webbing crossing between the scapulae and the adjustment buckle attachment to the elastic posterior strap. (D) Close-up view of the wrist and hand showing the wrist cross over the wrist and the hand piece.

Radiograph of uninvolved shoulder. H indicates the horizontal component of the subluxation measured by the horizontal distance between the center points of the glenoid fossa and humeral head. V indicates the vertical component of the glenohumeral subluxation determined by measuring from the most inferior and lateral point on the acromion surface of the acromioclavicular joint, to the central point of the humeral head.
