Adjustable elbow, forearm, and hand support for wheelchairs: from prevention to intervention.


SEATTLE (PRWEB)

The Moduform™ Dynamic Arm Support’s three points of contact will limit shoulder pain and subluxation by providing properly positioned support at the elbow, forearm, and hand, allowing for a return of upper extremity function. The arm support is versatile and can be mounted on a height-adjustable armrest to ensure proper support.

One of the product’s most innovative features, the hand block allows the fingers to flex, while encouraging the hand to return to a neutral position once the muscle tension releases. Another key differentiator of the Arm Support is the pivot plate, which allows the performance of independent range of motion (ROM) exercises to maintain function and ROM in the shoulder for ADLs such as dressing and hygiene. It can be easily accessed by the user or their caregiver, and allow progress with functional and positioning goals without replacement of parts, while the quick release tab allows for easy transfer in and out of the chair with caregiver assistance.

At the heart of the Moduform was the desire to develop an easy-to-use and anatomically correct arm support that can be utilized immediately after injury for optimal clinical outcomes. The Moduform Dynamic Arm Support (MDAS) is beneficial for clients with neurological impairment of the upper extremity. Diagnoses might include stroke (CVA), ALS, MS, and brachial plexus injury. Without question, Bodypoint has raised the bar this week for wheelchair accessory devices with the launch of the new MDAS.

“For more than 30 years, we’ve created better connections between people and wheelchairs, manufacturing postural support devices of the highest quality,” said Matthew Kosh, President and co-founder of Bodypoint. “Based on a concept by Bart Van der Heyden, world-renown PT, I am proud to now expand upon the products Bodypoint is known for with the Moduform™ Dynamic Arm Support, a welcomed new addition for the upper extremity.”
