Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Physical Therapy - Department of Physical Therapy for Neuromuscular and Neurosurgery Summary: This study was designed to determine the effect of arm sling on postural stability in stroke patients. Patients and Method: This study was conducted on forty-five patients from both sexes (30 males and 15 females) with hemiparetic stroke (in the domain of carotid system). Their ages ranged from 45-60 years, the duration of stroke ranged from 6 to 18 months. The patients were all assigned to the same group (study group). All patients were assessed on Biodex balance device. Data obtained under two conditions, without arm sling and with arm sling. Data of overall stability index, anteroposterior stability index and mediolateral stability index were statistically analyzed and compared between the two conditions. Results: the results of the present study revealed that there was a statistically significant difference in values of overall stability index in arm sling condition compared to without arm sling condition (p = 0.0001). Conclusion: In view of the results of this study, it{u2019}s possible to conclude that there was a beneficial effect of using arm sling on postural stability in stroke patients and it may play a role in stroke rehabilitation
