weighted blanket
I've been trying to figure out how to passively stretch my affected left arm for years. When in Ecuador last January I had a heavy pillow I could use to keep my left arm straight when lying on my left side. But I wanted to lay on my back with my left arm straight out to my side and no amount of pillows could hold my arm down. I don't have a partner that I could bury my left arm under their pillow so I came up with something else. Bought a 15 pound weighted blanket and keep it rolled up with webbing straps to be able to lift it. The first night I used it I lasted 30 minutes. The second night I lasted 5 minutes before my muscles screamed at me to stop. Will try again. I thought I would need the 25 pound blanket but 15 pounds was enough and I can always get more. I have no clue if this has any chance of working but I have to try something since my doctors and therapists left me with nothing to cure spasticity. COMPLETE FAILURE ON THEIR PART!
