Danny,
Obviously the toilets in Japan differ from the UK!
The USA slings our team is hoping to use only puts the shoulder into

Again I was hoping someone may have done a UK audit on how effective these
splints really are. Compliance might be different between the two cultures
(Japanese v Stafford)
