Bodypoint Dynamic Arm Support in 5 Minutes

If you work with clients affected by a stroke, grab a tea 🍵 and sit for 5 minutes 🕐
In working with wheelchair users for nearly a decade, I very rarely see an arm trough used effectively. For clients who are post stroke, I often use a half or full padded tray. This can be swung out the way for transfers and ensures the client's arm is supported, no matter how rotated their shoulder may be.
But 🍑
Thanks to some clever people at Bodypoint, there is a new way to support this posture.
What is it? The @bodypoint_inc Dynamic Arm Support
(As always, not a paid promotion - just a good product to share)
Why do users need this? Reduces the risk for long-term upper extremity dysfunction (prevents contractures, shoulder pain, and shoulder subluxation)
How? It offers modular and adjustable support. Any arm, any angle that needs to be accommodated. It has 3 contact points (elbow, forearm, hand) and allows 60° of dynamic movement that encourages strength and proprioception. The flexible hand block promotes a natural resting position and allows the fingers to flex.
