More Details
FEATURES: The trough is made of a blue, thermoplastic material with a smooth surface. It is open at the front which is splayed to support the hand, has curved sides to support the arm and has an elbow support section at the back. It is often necessary to line the surface with sheepskin or adhesive foam to provide extra protection for fragile skin.
METHOD OF USE: The armrest padding is firstly removed from the armrest. The trough then screws directly onto the metal tubing by means of two wing nuts. The trough has two sliding bracket adjustments which allows it to be moved and secured along the armrest to the desired position.
COMMENTS: As a safety and preventative measure for people with upper limb paralysis especially those with low muscular tone, loss of sensation or people with poor awareness or body image. Minimises risk involved with flail arm.
