Arm Weight™ (Works for right or left arm)
Compression, Input, Tremor Control and Strengthening all in one! **(PLEASE CLICK ON THE SIZE CHART PICTURE TO FIND YOUR CORRECT SIZE BEFORE ORDERING. REFER TO THE VIDEO BELOW FOR MORE INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO MEASURE.**
The HandiThings Arm Weight is a weighted compression sleeve designed to help with a variety of conditions. The newly designed weighted sleeve distributes the weight evenly along the full length of the forearm, allowing for maximum flexibility and mobility during activities.
The Arm Sleeve Weight provides compression, sensory input, tremor control, and strengthening all in one. The new design features vertical weight tunnels that are located on the top of the forearm instead of the horizontal weight tunnels that wrap around the entire forearm. This keeps the weight on the top of the arm and prevents the weight tunnels from snagging on anything the bottom of the arm would touch or run across. Constructed of dark navy latex-free stretch jersey fabric with lead-free steel shot, the weight has heavy-duty stitching for added strength and durability. 5 different sizes are available to accommodate most arm sizes from small children to adults. To determine the size, measure the circumference of the thickest part of the forearm, and see the sizing chart to find the correct size. Therapists recommend wearing this weighted sleeve during fine motor or self help activities. Users who need extra sensory input during handwriting, but aren't able to tolerate a weighted glove or weighted pencil will find this to be a helpful alternative. For those who experience tremors during fine motor tasks, the Arm Sleeve Compression Weight by HandiThings provides proprioceptive input, increases sensory feedback, enhances kinesthetic awareness, and can be used for strengthening exercises.
Benefits of The Arm Weight:
- Provides Compression & Proprioceptive Input
- Help Increase Kinesthetic Awareness
- Can Be Used For Strengthening Activities
- Can Be Beneficial For Tremoring
- Beneficial for Physical Therapy and Rehab Applications
