Assistive dynamic arm support system (An assembly of mechanical devices designed to bear the weight of a weak or paralysed arm providing gravity-compensating support for the functional use and/or rehabilitation of the arm/wrist/hand. It is used to support activities of daily life (ADL) such as feeding, self care, computer use, as well as therapeutical training and prevention of complaints of neck and/or shoulder (CANS). It consists of a main column anchored to a surface or wheelchair and a suspended sling or a set of components which take the weight bearing through a set of axes, joints, and a splint underneath the user's arm. Gravity compensation works via a counterweight or spring mechanism and a power-assistive electromotor.)
