Effect of arm sling application on gait and balance in patients with post-stroke hemiplegia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Scientific Reports"
DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-90602-y
Abstract: Hemiplegic shoulder pain and impairment are common poststroke outcomes, for which arm slings constitute long-used treatments. Although multiple studies have suggested association between gait pattern and sling application, results have varied. Accordingly, we conducted this… read more here.
