    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Rehabilitation Engineering
    • Biomedical Devices

    Background:

    • Arm afflictions can significantly impair patient mobility and quality of life.
    • Existing assistive devices may not adequately address pain and range of motion limitations.
    • The Mobile Arm Support was developed to provide a novel solution for arm rehabilitation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of the Mobile Arm Support in patients with arm afflictions.
    • To assess the impact of the device on pain levels, range of motion, and functional abilities.

    Main Methods:

    • A clinical study was conducted with 18 patients using the Mobile Arm Support.
    • The device features a supporting harness, an articulated splint acting as a lever, and a pneumatic elevation system.
    • Spherical articulation near the scapulohumeral joint facilitates natural movement.

    Main Results:

    • Patients reported a significant reduction in pain.
    • Observed increases in shoulder and elbow range of movement.
    • Demonstrated enhancement of overall functional possibilities for patients.

    Conclusions:

    • The Mobile Arm Support is an effective assistive device for patients with arm afflictions.
    • The device's design, utilizing a lever splint and pneumatic system, successfully counterbalances arm weight.
    • Clinical outcomes indicate positive effects on pain, mobility, and function.
