Thanks for an excellent video. I agree with getting someone who actually has to deal with the pain of putting on a sling.
Thank you! The best video I have seen! Going for my second shoulder replacement soon.
Awesome demonstraion. This has really cleared a few confusions for me as a physio. Thanks Heaps
Great for guys, what about the ladies? Some of us can’t go braless. Got any ideas?
what are u talking about 😂 a girl put it on the same wag he jus showed u
Excellent video. Thank you. I have broken clavicle but the application of the video is similar.
thanks for the video. Helpful with my bruised shoulder without help & taking care of my 94 yr old mother by myself
Thanks for this very helpful video.
I had my bone badly fractured and so I have been struggling in a sling This really helped!
Great 👍 for advice hopefully 🙏🏼 getting mine soon
Awesome video. thank u
I had rotator cuff, two huge tendon tears 16 days ago, and I am only using tshirts for now. No buttons.
Great video! Should employ someone that has actually had shoulder surgery. You'll get a better picture of the painful contortions you have to go through to do such a simple chore.
Amen. Lord knows I am having difficulties putting on clothes and taking off.
Same boat here, didn’t realise how hard socks are to put on one handed.
I totally agree, without using someone in the pain of making these moves it looses all credibility with me. I can't begin to make those movements.
I was going to say the same thing. It's very well done. I am having surgery on Wednesday. Unfortunately for me, I am not a 22 year old fitness model.
If they had a person with a real injury demonstrate this it would be an hour long video to do everything this guy did. I’m only on day two of my shoulder injury. I’m not even up to doing the stuff by myself I need somebody to help me.
Thank you for video I might be having one those either next month or towards the end of this month month
Ty this was very helpful
DonJoy ultrasling is fantastic. One thing that really helped me was getting some button/snap shirts with bilateral patch pockets so I didn't have to wear a bra.
Thank you! Having surgery next week.
What if it's a broken humerus? I sincerely doubt my husband could let his arm hang down like that. I know he couldn't raise it to button a shirt. And he absolutely couldn't stand a pillow under his arm to shower. I'm afraid this wasn't nearly as useful as I had hoped. He fell and broke the arm a week ago last night and won't even get a CT until tomorrow. don't know yet when he can have surgery to repair the break. meanwhile he is in a cloth sling that slips all the time. I have wrapped his upper arm to his chest over the sling just above the elbow using an ACE bandage to try to stabilize it more. that's the only thing that has given him any comfort other than pain meds.
it also wouldnt work for a dislocated shoulder, way too much moving
please. PLEASE! could you post here what brand of sling do you use?!
Thanks. Was just wishing they would give some basic and specific advice after my surgery 2 days ago.
I’m having a shoulder replacement in a few months. I’m trying to research what to wear, I had no idea what was involved to get sling off/on. Shouldn’t the waist strap closure be in front? Yikes I’m concerned if I can do this!!
Watching your model is helpful and nice to look at, lol🤗. I had to say it!
How about how to dry off after the shower. That could be a tough one
Great video! Just fractured my shoulder and need to wear a sling for next 6-8 weeks. Any tips for ladies clothing, besides getting help to get dressed? Items like socks and bras are still necessary but very difficult to put on.
I use my feet and toes to help with socks and i gave up on a bra
I have soft front hook sleep bras. no support to speak of but i have coverage. 2 weeks post op.
Elastic used shorts in one size larger. Large necklines and loose shirts button-ups
exactly!! no one ever talks about the women. they always show how to put on a button up when ladies rarely wear them
I'm out of surgery for plates/screws putting my collar bone back together 5 weeks. I have very large breasts and I can't even think about a bra right now. Super frustrated 😒
Can I have that arm sling? Mine's the blue one
I don’t have the thing that goes around me my neck is hurting so bad 😖😖😣😢😭
Great demonstration with the best medical model ever!!!!!! Love the abs.
What happened after the shirt coming off?
That was smart............to use a table to to block view of a lot of what you intended to show us. It would have been useful to see the guy's hand position/motion while doing all these movements to take off/put on shirt and sling. It does make a big difference how you use your hand and lower arm so it does not affect the surgery.
What is the brand name that f this sling?
When he takes his shirt off. That, “Oh No He’s Hot!” voice from SpongeBob played in my head.
Pool noodle cut in 3 pieces and taped together side by side works from shower.
After Hilsachs and Bankart lesion with SLAP tear how many days use sling ?? Any one plz reply me 😔
What brand sling was used in this video? Thank you.
Del
that is SOME SLING! They sent me home with one so cheap Amazon doesn't even have one like it. Maybe because it's Medicare, but I can't wait to see what they charged for THAT POS! I have a nice one coming for 12.99. I don't see anything similar to the one shown. Maybe that is overkill? Great vid!!!
Nami Hendel i
He blew it by getting his shirt back on his left shoulder. that would have hurt.
Nami Hendel 🤣🤣Same here!
4-1/2 weeks post-surgery. Have been preparing breakfast and lunch since day one. Have been dressing myself since day three. Husband won’t be winning any Florence Nightingale awards.
I'm 2 weeks post op and no way you can do that , there is a mesh shower sling that I'm using that will make things easier
This makes no sense. I have just experienced a fractured humerus and subsiquent ORIF surgery. I used a simple spare sling and with help put that on for showering. Afterwards with help put my main sling back on. Hang wet sling on clothes line. Completely supported in shower. I doubt holding a pillow and soaping up would work.
My doctor said don’t let your arm hang… I had grade 3 shoulder separation surgery however
How would you get your pants, shoes and socks off and on?
Gayle Cook with great difficulty one handed from my experience. Requires practice and patience
Curly shoelaces or Velcro shoes elastic shorts
Index finger
He can keep that shirt off as long as he likes ;)
That dude us ripped
no
Not realistic. He is not injured and is using too much motion for the bad arm. Much harder with a real injury.
I was due to have my left shoulder replaced last march. Instead I bought
a Harley.. Yeah My wife thought that was a real SMART move. I moved it
to this December then thought...MRI, pre op, post op, Possible
infection, 6 weeks in a sling, sleeping in a lazy Boy, physical
therapy..Etc
Hey at 69 you're suppose to feel like crap. I'll suck it
up and ride till the pain becomes unbearable, or till grandma makes a
left turn in front of me..
Ed Rhoads I’m 29 just had a reverse total replacement. Unfortunately I need my arm a little longer ;)
THANK YOU for removing your shirt!!!
The BRICE is RIGHT!!
So handsome!!!!
Abs!!!!!!
Look at that six pack!
Using someone post surgery would be so more realistic with these. 🙂
What about a bra?
