ABSTRACT
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.
