Positioning of the upper limb
- Preventing and reducing shoulder/arm pain: there is evidence to suggest that the use of slings and supports are effective in preventing and reducing shoulder pain. The affected limb should be supported and it should never be pulled especially when assisting a patient with standing or during walking
- To prevent damage to the affected limb, also consider placing the arm in a position where the patient is able to see it
