  • Title: Orthosis to correct shoulder pain and deformity after trapezius palsy.
    Author: Villanueva R.
    Journal: Arch Phys Med Rehabil; 1977 Jan; 58(1):30-4. PubMed ID: 831662.
    Abstract:
    An orthosis is described which provides the following benefits to patients with trapezius paralysis: (1) Cosmetically, appearance is improved because the orthosis restores the shoulder to its normal position. (2) Pain is alleviated or minimized by relieving the pull against the levator scapulae and the rhomboideus muscles. (3) Endurance is improved allowing the patient to return to previous employment and full activities.
