Upper Limb Assistive Technology
Active Mobility offers an ever increasing range of assistive
technology devices for clients with upper limb disability.
These devices compensate for the upper body in the way a
wheelchair compensates for the lower body. They provide
assistance with eating, personal care, educational
& vocational tasks as well as community access.
Many people with disabilities require assistive technology to
do everyday activities and to promote their independence.
There is a wide range of equipment available at Active
Mobility Systems. We work with our clients to find the right
device for a more independent life.
Active Mobility System offers:
Jaco - Robotic Arm Support
MultiLink - Dynamic Arm Support
Armon - Zero Gravity Arm Support
Neater - Eater (Programmable or Manual)
Neater - Drinker
MOMO Series - Assistive Devices
Assistive technology is equipment that has been designed to aid an independent life
allowing smooth, easy movements of persons limbs. It allows people to perform most tasks
that they would not usually be able to do.

Upper Limb Assistive Technology
MultiLink Dynamic Arm Support
Use
MultiLink can be applied single-sided as well as double sided to wheelchairs or work chairs. A separate
table mount is available which means it can be easily installed to a table for eating or typing etc.
MultiLink helps people with limited arm function to move their arms and hands. MultiLink eliminates
gravity and the burden to lift the arm. It helps to reach, grab and manipulate during daily activities such
as eating, drinking, computer work, communication and play.
Purpose
MultiLink carries the weight of the arm. Movements initiated from the shoulder girdle are converted into
movements of the forearm. The lateral and vertical hinge points can each be adjusted according to the
level of movement required to enable a precise support for the user’s needs.
Characteristic
Functional Benefits
Elevation for raising arm for
eating / drinking etc
Increase range of active arm
movement [ROM]
Reduces arm fatigue / pain
Increases control of arm /
hand capabilities
Improves overall sitting / back
posture
Maintains natural arm
movements
Features
Easy installation to chairs /
wheelchairs, desks
Simple construction
Can be removed when not
needed
Upper Limb Assistive Technology | 5
Keep arms moving with the MultiLink Dynamic Arm Support. This unique
mobile arm support system has an elevation-assist function to allow
significantly greater range of arm motion for feeding and facial hygiene.
Poor grade deltoid muscle tone is required to use this device.
Open up clients’ lives to higher achievements and increased functionality
and independence. Fits children through to larger adults, and is universal
for left or right arms.
MultiLink is used by people who are challenged by muscular weakness or paralysis but can still grab
objects. Suitable for users with neurological or neuromuscular disorders. The elastic band assisted
Elevating Proximal Arm is designed to provide clients with shoulder girdle weakness, a greater range of
movement. A client with little or poor strength in the shoulder can accomplish self-feeding, table top
activities and facial hygiene, while increasing or maintaining ROM (range of movement) and
strengthening muscles.
