Members,
A rodeo steer-wrestling patient referred to our facility requires a Duke
Wire Orthosis per Rx. Pt. went to Dr. specifically for the purpose of
obtaining a Rx for a shoulder orthosis that would prevent his right shoulder
from abducting beyond 90 degrees. His Dr. informed him that Duke University
had such an animal that used a length of wire or cable attached between an
arm cuff and either a band around his chest at xiphoid level or at his waist.
I have not located a design for this device and will probably reinvent one
in-house. Any experience or suggestions would be appreciated.
