What makes the PLEXFIT Athletic Arm Sling better than other arm slings?
Unlike commercial arm slings, the PLEXFIT Arm Sling is designed to provide more support and adequate immobilization of the arm while in use. This is a problem for patients that require little to no movement in the wrist and/or shoulder movement, causing some of them to purchase customized arm slings.
Who would best benefit from the PLEXFIT Athletic Arm Sling?
Most users with an arm or shoulder injury would benefit from utilizing the PLEXFIT arm slings due to their beneficial features for short term and temporary goals of rehabilitation. One particular study that Avalanche has focused on and is the base of how the PLEXFIT came about is
Brachial Plexus injuries.
What are Brachial Plexus injuries?
The brachial plexus is a group of nerves that are located between the spinal cord, shoulder, and arm. Brachial plexus injuries may cause paralysis of the arm and shoulder muscles, deepening into shoulder muscle atrophy over time. A person may injure their brachial plexus nerves through extreme stretching, pressure, or cutting. Described by the
American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH), this type of damage can be found in a motorcycle or car accident victim.
How may PLEXFIT Arm Slings help me?
Avalanche researched and designed the PLEXFIT Athletic arm sling to conceal and support your injured arm while you conduct exercises and other rigorous events. Instead of being bummed and not staying active, the PLEXFIT build allows you to securely fasten your injured arm so as to not cause further damage and allowing you to maintain an active lifestyle.
