DonJoy Shoulder Cradle for night time

First, we laugh when we see this photo because it is not entirely a restful sleep when your arms stick straight up in the air.  That is a problem in and of itself, but the shoulders dislocating every day and night were a worse problem.  When the shoulder instability is at it's very worst, we add this Donjoy Shoulder Cradle to one arm at night time, and we use the Donjoy Ultra Sling (shown here) This combination has helped her out tremendously. We don't use the bolster underneath, and the other sling has straps going across the front, so it's all a bit ridiculous looking, but this combination helps her to stabilize long enough for that constant instability to tone up. It took weeks of doing this every night, and on very bad days, she will sometimes wear these during the day, but only for sitting. We find that this cradle doesn't suit her well for moving about (it does have velcro strap to help keep it on, but it's a bit heavy and adds to problems if she walks around with it. In addition to the immobilizers, when needed, we raised the head of the bed and used body pillows to create support where we can. This makes it very hard to toss and turn, which is a good thing. If you think these may be of help, talk to your medical team and see what they think. The Don Joy products have been our best brace/immobilizers to date.
