Abstract
In the acute care setting, an occupational therapist often evaluates and treats patients after a central nervous system (CNS) brain injury. There are many intervention strategies used to help treat these conditions. Slings are most commonly used short-term with patients who present with a flaccid upper extremity. The main concern is the efficacy for the sling use with patients who fall under this diagnosis.
