There are many situations when a child's shoulder must be immobilized, but wearing a regular arm or shoulder sling does not always prevent the shoulder from moving. Plus, having the arm encased in a sling can be unpleasant as well tiring to the wrist or hand. The open, cuffed design of BraceAbility's youth arm sling eliminates these problems. The child's arm sling consists of a forearm cuff, humeral cuff, a band that encircles the torso and an adjustable web shoulder strap. The pediatric shoulder immobilizer is made of soft, foam laminate that is latex free. And it can be secured with a simple hook and loop closure. The cuffs of this kids' arm sling secure the shoulder in place, allowing a child to heal from a variety of sports injuries, such as a dislocated shoulder, a broken arm or clavicle fracture, and other children's sports injuries from football, baseball, swimming, tennis, etc. The youth arm sling's universal design covers rib circumferences ranging from 12" to 30" making it ideal for boys and girls of a variety of ages and shapes. If a bigger size is needed, one can check out the BraceAbility Universal Shoulder Immobilizer Brace. For kids who take part in sports, shoulder injuries are not unusual. The high demand of sports on the immature joints and bones of a youth can lead to ligament, tendon or muscle injuries. One fairly common shoulder injury among children and adolescents is a break to either the humerus (upper arm) or clavicle (collarbone) bone, with the latter being the more common of the two injuries, since the bone is not well protected by fat or other tissues. Both of these breaks can be caused by a fall onto an outstretched arm or a direct hit to the bone. While surgery is sometimes needed to stabilize the bone after a break, immobilizing the shoulder or arm with a kids' arm sling or cast is often sufficient treatment.
