Summary

This study tested a new way to position the weak arm in stroke patients to prevent shoulder pain, a common problem that can slow recovery. 76 people who had a stroke within the last 48 hours took part. The program used special supports and slings, along with training for patients and families, and daily gentle movement exercises. The goal was to see if this approach works better than standard care with pillows and regular slings.
