What is an arm support?
This section describes the concept of an arm support.
A dynamic arm support is an assistive technology product which allows people with limited arm
and shoulder function to move their arms and hands more freely. This facilitates many kinds of
daily activities, such as using a computer or eating. Arm supports use mechanisms to compensate
for the weight of the user’s arm. Without having to expend energy to hold up the weight of the
arm, people with limited function can then use what upper body strength they have to move their
arm more easily. This can help maintain the muscles, joints and cognitive functions of the user.

Use of arm support and normal use definition
This section describes the normal use of the arm support.
The arm support device does not take over any arm function. The user makes the movements
himself, using his own upper body arm strength. The device only supports part of the weight
of the arm, making it easier to perform the movement. The device supports the arm through
all movements within a 3D region. Actions performed while using the arm support are the
responsibility of the user.
Limitations: The arm support is intended to be used to help support arm movements during
typical, everyday activities at home, in public, or in a typical office environment. The arm support
is not intended to be used while driving an automobile or operating other heavy equipment.

Arm support safety
This section describes safety recommendations for use of the arm support.
KINOVA® Dynamic Arm Support O540 Installation Guide 9
•
The arm support works with a spring compensation mechanism. The tension in the
springs provides the force for compensation. When the upper arm of the arm support is
lowered, there will be tension on the springs. This tension will cause the support to spring
upwards when you release the arm from the support. When removing the arm from the
support, do so slowly and carefully and hold the upper arm of the support so that it doesn't
spring up too suddenly.
•
When the arm support is in a locked postion, make sure your arm is placed properly in
the brace, with weight applied on the support, before releasing the brake or moving the arm
support out of its locked position.
•
Hitting one of the compensation adjustment buttons while the Horizontal / Vertical (H /
V) brake is activated will cause the brake to disengage. Only adjust compensation when your
arm is in the brace.
• When the arm support isn’t used, always bring the upper arm segment of the arm support back
into its most upwards position so that there is no tension on the springs.
• Each day before using the arm support, it is recommended to give the arm support a quick
check over to confirm that the brace is firmly attached and mechanisms are secure to hold up
your arm.
• The physical controller for the arm support provides the most reliable means of control.
When wireless control with an Android app is used, make sure to keep the physical controller
connected as a backup.
•
The arm support may only be used for the intended purpose. Any type of use which is not
specified in this manual will be considered as improper use. The customer is solely responsible
for material damage and injury of persons resulting from improper use.
•
Assembly, commissioning and maintenance should only be carried out by trained
specialists.
•
Under no circumstance should you open the housing of the arm support. The warranty
is void in such a case.
•
Do not use the arm support in environments exposed to corrosion hazards.
•
Do not immerse the arm support in water or use in heavy rain or snow. When cleaning
the outside of the arm support, a moistened towel shall be used.
•
Protect the arm support against sand, vapours and dust. Do not use in sandy or dusty
environments. Remove the arm support during haircuts as the small hairs can get into the
support mechanisms. This can impair performance and reduce safety.
•
Be aware of finger pinching. There are potential pinch zones indicated on the support
in two locations (identified on the support with stickers):
1. Hip joint
2. Shoulder joint
Never stick your fingers in any cavity of the product. Make sure people around you, particularly
children, do not put their fingers near pinch points.
