Abstract: An arm restraint is adapted for limiting arm movement of a patient. The arm restraint includes a fabric arm wrap designed for receiving and folding around an arm of the patient in a generally extended condition. The arm wrap has a first end adapted for residing adjacent an upper arm of the patient and a second end residing adjacent a wrist of the patient. A plurality of spaced-apart elongated stays are incorporated within the arm wrap, and extend longitudinally from its first end to its second end. The stays cooperate to restrict bending of the arm at the elbow. A fabric shoulder fold is formed with the first end of the arm wrap, and is designed for extending over and covering a shoulder of the patient adjacent the upper arm. A torso strap is secured to the shoulder fold at a first attachment point. The torso strap has a free end designed for extending across and around an upper torso of the patient. The free end attaches to the shoulder fold at a second attachment point.
