Abstract:

The present invention is an arm sling with humeral stabilizer which includes a shoulder strap anchorage which connects to a torso belt. A first strap is attached at one end to the wrist portion of a sling or arm cast, passes through a loop on the shoulder anchorage, and attaches to the elbow portion of the sling or cast. A second strap is adapted to connect at one end to a torso belt, pass through a loop on the shoulder anchorage, and connect at the strap's other end to the torso belt. The utilization of the shoulder anchorage arrangement causes the weight of the supported arm to be borne by the shoulder rather than the neck.
