Height Adjustable Arm Support (Pair)
Height Adjustable Arm Support (Pair)
Adjustable arm supports designed to provide upper limb stability, improve posture, and support everyday function. Available in two configurations – standard and multiplane – allowing clinicians to select the appropriate level of positioning and control for individual user needs.
These arm supports help to:
- Stabilise the upper body where trunk control is limited
- Promote a more symmetrical, upright sitting posture
- Reduce fatigue from unsupported arm weight
- Support functional activities such as eating, communication, and device use
The multiplane option with elbow containment provides additional guidance and control for users with limited or no voluntary arm movement.

FAQ's
What is the difference between the two arm support options?
The Height Adjustable Arm Supports provide stable forearm support to improve posture and reduce fatigue.
The Multiplane Adjustable Arm Supports with Elbow Containment offer additional multi-directional adjustment and gentle elbow guidance for users with limited or no voluntary arm control, providing increased stability and positioning support.
Who are the height adjustable arm supports suitable for?
Height adjustable arm supports are ideal for users who need improved upper limb positioning, support for trunk stability, or reduced fatigue from unsupported arms, but who do not require additional containment or guidance.
When would elbow containment be recommended?
Elbow containment is typically recommended for users who:
- Have limited or no voluntary arm control
- Experience fluctuating muscle tone
- Display involuntary or uncontrolled arm movements
- Are at risk of shoulder subluxation
- Require additional postural stability
Do both options help with posture?
Yes. Both arm support options help promote midline positioning, improve trunk alignment, and support a more stable and symmetrical sitting posture.
Can the arm supports be adjusted?
Yes. Both options offer height adjustment and flexible positioning. The multiplane version also includes additional adjustments such as angle, width, and positioning to allow more precise setup.
Are front and rear mounting options available?
Yes. Both arm support options are available with front or rear mounting, allowing the setup to be tailored for transfers, positioning needs, and wheelchair configuration.
Description
Height Adjustable Arm Support (Pair) Standard or Multiplane
Adjustable arm supports provide consistent and reliable forearm support, helping clinicians fine-tune upper limb positioning to improve posture, stability, and comfort throughout the day. With flexible mounting and adjustable positioning, the system supports a wide range of clinical needs and functional goals.
Both options help to:
- Promote midline orientation
- Reduce compensatory trunk movements
- Support a more stable and energy-efficient sitting posture
- Reduce load through the shoulders
- Improve overall trunk alignment
- Provide a stable base for functional activities
Front or rear mounting options allow the setup to be tailored for both clinical positioning and practical considerations, including safe transfers in and out of the wheelchair.
Option 1: Height Adjustable Arm Supports
Height adjustable arm supports provide reliable forearm support for users who benefit from improved upper limb positioning but do not require additional containment. Adjustable height and flexible mounting allow precise alignment, helping maintain a supported and symmetrical sitting posture.
This option is ideal for:
- Reduced trunk control
- Postural asymmetry
- Fatigue from unsupported arms
- Functional activity support
Option 2: Multiplane Adjustable Arm Supports with Elbow Containment
The multiplane adjustable arm supports with elbow containment provide a higher level of positioning and stability for users with limited or no voluntary arm control. Multi-axis adjustability — including height, angle, width, and mounting position — allows highly individualised setup.
Integrated elbow containment offers gentle guidance to:
- Help prevent shoulder subluxation
- Reduce uncontrolled or involuntary arm movement
- Support consistent midline orientation
- Improve overall postural integrity
- Reduce asymmetrical loading
This option is particularly beneficial where muscle tone fluctuates, arm control is limited, or unsupported movement impacts posture or safety.
Both options accommodate a wide range of users and can support growth and evolving clinical needs over time.
