Hi all,
Have an athlete with disability, right brachial plexus lesion 2º to MBA.
Nerve transplantation for shoulder stability, has worked but not 100%.
Running short to long distance on the track.
Binding arm across chest with hand close to opposite shoulder at present.
Would like to try and position arm for more normal swing during running but
maintaining shoulder subluxation support.
About to try Wilmer carrying orthosis with modifications.
Wondering if anyone has had experience with this type of scenario?
Will post results.
