The dynamic arm support system Dowing2 is a system that consists of several axes which are interconnected via pivoting points. The axes are connected to a manually adjustable gravity compensation mechanism. At the distal end of the system an arm fitting, elbow fitting and optional a wrist support are attached. Dowing2 is mounted on a chair, wheelchair or movable frame, depending on conditions. The lower arm of the user is placed in the arm fitting, and Dowing2 can support the weight of the lower and partly the upper arm. The axes of Dowing2 will support movements of the human lower arm and hand. Dowing2 has a robust design combined with low friction and low play. This is realised by using high quality bearing systems combined with high accuracy mechanical parts which results in a smoothly running system. Therefore little energy is required to introduce the intended movements. The smooth running Dowing2 combined with the accurate fit of the arm fitting results in little muscle forces required from the user. The kinematic chain of the axes results in a large range of motion. Gravity compensation characteristics of the device can depend on individual requirements easily be adjusted.
