Description

The clinically developed Dynamic Arm Support is modular and adjustable, providing an option for intervention and prevention for the upper extremity following injury or neurological events.

It provides three points of support at the elbow, forearm, and hand with a focus on preventing contractures, shoulder pain, and shoulder subluxation. The uniquely shaped pads facilitate a functional and neutral position of the forearm and hand.

Key Features

  • Easy-to-use and anatomically correct arm support.
  • Proper positioning greatly reduces the strain on the shoulder muscles.
  • Reduces the risk of long-term upper extremity dysfunction and promotes functional activity.
  • Unique quick-release mechanism that allows for easy removal but clicks firmly into place.
  • The support is patented and adjustable. The hand block and forearm pad are adjustable in position to match the appropriate length of the user's arm and the specific positioning of the hand and wrist. 
  • The unique design of the hand block allows fingers to flex, while encouraging the hand to return to a neutral position once the muscle
    tension releases.
  • Made of soft and durable materials for comfort and pressure distribution.

FAQ's

How can you clean the Bodypoint Dynamic Arm Support?

The Dynamic Arm Support can be cleaned by wiping with a disinfectant or a cloth soaked in warm water and soap. Dry with a towel or air dry. The Hand Strap can be machine washed at 60°C, tumble dry at low temperature or drip dry.

What type of wheelchairs will the Bodypoint Dynamic Arm Support fit?

The Dynamic Arm Support has been designed to fit most manual wheelchair and powerchair models. We have a variety of mounting solutions for tubular armrests and flat armrests. You will need to know the brand of powerchair (if not an Allied Medical brand) or the tube diameter of the tubular armrest. It is advised to use the Dynamic Arm Support with height-adjustable armrests to get the best fit. In most cases, you will also need to remove the existing armrest pad. We do not recommend trying to mount to a swing-away tubular armrest.

Can I change from a right to a left Bodypoint Dynamic Arm Support without much issue?

If you have ordered the wrong sided product, we can help you modify the base board to accommodate the opposite side. However, you will need to purchase or exchange the hand block.

Is there a Bodypoint Dynamic Arm Support assessment kit available for purchase for therapists?

Yes. You can purchase a full assessment kit that includes all parts, mounting hardware for a variety of wheelchairs and all four sizes of the hand block. It allows you to do any needed configuration of sizes and left and right. Please chat to our Customer Care Team if you are interested in ordering one.

Are there different shapes or styles of the Bodypoint Dynamic Arm Support hand block?

Currently, Bodypoint only have the one shape of hand block. However, are aware of multiple requests for different styles, and they have confirmed they may have them in the future

Does the Bodypoint Dynamic Arm Support come in different sizes?

The base system is one size, but you will have to select the correct size of the hand block. It comes in a small and large size. The small fits a hand that is a maximum of 10.5 cm long, measured from the first knuckle of the middle finger.

What kind of clients can benefit from the Bodypoint Dynamic Arm Support?

It is best to have clients assessed by a therapist, however, as a guide the arm support is generally beneficial for clients with neurological impairment of one upper extremity. Diagnoses might include stroke (CVA), ALS, MS, and brachial plexus injury.
