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. If you want more details, please refer to the script form.
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.
If you have the wrong-sided product, a technician can help you modify the baseboard to accommodate the opposite side. However, you will need to purchase the correct hand block.
The Dynamic Arm Support has been designed to fit most manual wheelchair and powerchair models. 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.
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.
The Dynamic Arm Support has a limited lifetime warranty against defects in workmanship and materials arising under normal use by the original consumer.
