So you didn't set up the research strong enough to create a protocol, so you punted and asked for more research. WHOM the hell is going to do that? We have NO stroke leadership to initiate followup research.

Abstract: Study investigated the effect of Lycra sleeves on the acromion-greater tuberosity (AGT) distance, muscle activity around the shoulder region, and scapular position in six people with stroke. Previous studies found that a Lycra sleeve can reduce AGT distance, used for assessment of glenohumeral subluxation (GHS), in people with chronic stroke. Measurements were taken before and immediately after application of the sleeve. Portable diagnostic ultrasound, electromyography, and a tape measure were used to measure AGT distance, muscle activity (biceps, triceps, deltoid, and supraspinatus), and position of the scapula, respectively. There was a mean reduction of 0.13 centimeters in AGT distance measurements, but this was not statistically significant. The inferior scapula measurements showed a mean reduction of 1 centimeter, and this was statistically significant when compared without and with sleeve application. The application of Lycra arm sleeves did not significantly reduce the AGT distance but altered scapula mechanics by putting it in a mechanically advantaged position in a small sample of people with chronic stroke. These findings suggest that the Lycra sleeve may have potential to alter biomechanics and influence neuromuscular activity in the arm. A properly designed definitive trial would be required to confirm the effectiveness of the Lycra sleeve in reducing GHS in people with both acute and chronic stroke.
