The effects of Lycra sleeves on acromion-greater tuberosity distance, muscle activity and scapula position in people with post-stroke hemiplegia (2017)
Journal Article

Glenohumeral subluxation (GHS) is reported in up to 81% of patients with stroke. Our previous studies found that a Lycra sleeve can reduce acromion-greater tuberosity distance (used for assessment of GHS) in people with chronic stroke (n=5). In a rec...
