Challenges with sling use following shoulder surgery: the patients' perspective

Sleeping is difficult for most patients while immobilized. Bathing, drying, and dressing require an adaptation period of 2 weeks until patients can complete these activities more independently. Informing patients of challenges they will face while immobilized will help set expectations and may lead to improved clinical outcomes.

Abstract

Sleeping is difficult for most patients while immobilized. Bathing, drying, and dressing require an adaptation period of 2 weeks until patients can complete these activities more independently. Informing patients of challenges they will face while immobilized will help set expectations and may lead to improved clinical outcomes.
