The Dynamic Arm Support Balancer is a simply designed, innovative device that provides arm support from above, aiding users in performing daily tasks such as eating, drinking, self-care, and computer use. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with muscle weakness who retain some gripping function, often due to neurological conditions or muscle diseases.
Key Features
- Allows for comfortable performance of daily activities and participation in social activities.
- Support is provided from above, enabling free arm movement without the need for adapting or removing wheelchair armrests.
- The degree of assistance is adjustable, and the device can be folded for convenience.
- Does not increase the width of the wheelchair.
Functionality
The Balancer supports the arm's weight and translates shoulder movements into forearm movements. It uses a suspension-type mechanism with a pre-tensioned spring to compensate for the arm's weight, allowing unencumbered forearm movement. The compensation level is adjustable via a rotary knob.
Additional Characteristics
- Unencumbered movement and extensive reach.
- Stable and discreet design.
- Foldable and easy to detach, suitable for transport in a minibus.
Usage
The Balancer can be used single- or double-sided and mounted on various devices like electric wheelchairs or office chairs. It is constructed with high-quality materials, offering minimal resistance and easy learning for users. The arm-fitting is customizable to individual needs, with various dimensions and alternatives available.
Reliability
The Balancer is a tried and trusted device, having undergone significant development to ensure reliability and durability. It supports fine motor skills by compensating for arm weight and offers a wide range of motion beyond wheelchair confines.
