Neater Arm Support
(NAS)
The Neater Arm Support is designed to aid individuals with muscle weakness by utilizing a unique power drive system. Unlike other arm supports, it requires minimal user movement and can be attached to a powered wheelchair for assistance. Its friction-free arms enable fluid movement, while the sling frame automatically adjusts to bring the hand to a functional position. This innovative support system effectively counters gravity, allowing users to use their arms more effectively.

NAS Assist
The "Neater Arm Support – Assist" is a new device from Neater Solutions to assist people with weak arms. The Neater Arm Support is a powered device that lifts the user's arms up and down. When the new assist mechanism is engaged, the user's hand automatically moves closer to their face when their arm is lifted. It enables them to perform functions such as eating and drinking.
Its unique action enables users with weakness or tightness of the triceps to reach their mouth and face more easily for eating, drinking, and hygiene activities.
At a press of a button, the arm support raises, and then the wheel engages with the sloping surface to gently encourage the hand inwards, and when at the top, it holds there. When lowering, the system smoothly disengages to allow full functionality.
This enhancement to the system is likely to be beneficial to clients with Motor Neurone Disease, for stroke therapy, and longer-term users of the arm support with muscular dystrophy.
Invaluable for people with a progressive weakness of the shoulder girdle muscles
