Overview
Dowing2 is a dynamic arm support designed to enhance the performance of Activities of Daily Living (ADL) such as eating, drinking, and computer use. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with disabilities or those experiencing fatigue due to challenging work conditions. The device also serves as a therapeutic tool in clinical settings by providing gravity compensation during exercises.

Intended Use
Dowing2 is intended for individuals who require assistance due to a lack of muscle force. It helps in reducing the effects of excessive muscle functioning and redistributes pressures and forces on the arm and shoulder, potentially decreasing shoulder pain. The device can be used on one or both sides and is suitable for various environments including home, workplace, and institutional settings.

Innovations and Features

• High-quality bearings and precisely manufactured parts ensure smooth movements.
• Inclined extension arms allow free movement over tabletops.
• Unlimited rotational extension arms provide large reach and natural freedom of movement.
• Continuously adjustable gravity compensation from 0 to 100%.
• Innovative brake system minimizes the impact of quick, unwanted upward movements.
• Position-independent balancing system creates a constant vertical force.
• Lightweight materials reduce inertia effects.
• Parking possibility allows safe removal of the arm.
• Fully adjustable arm fitting with elbow and wrist support.
• Mounting clamps for tables and working chairs.

Ergonomic Adjustment
The device supports numerous daily activities by adding force to the user's arm in the vertical plane, adhering to the 'Assist as needed' principle. The force can be easily adjusted using a knob, and a compensation indicator shows the level of assistance. Horizontal movements require minimal effort, facilitating easy reach of the mouth and face.
