Wheelchair Arm Rest Cushion with Arm Trough & Arm Strap, Lateral Arm Support Pad for Wheelchair

Description of Product

The wheelchair armrest cushion is designed to reduce the risk of skin and muscle damage that can occur from constant contact with a hard armrest. It provides lateral support to help reduce leaning and stabilize the upper trunk by offering added support. Individuals who have experienced a stroke often lean on the affected side, putting excessive pressure on the arm's elbow and causing lateral flexion of the trunk. Therefore, lateral arm supports are crucial for post-stroke individuals who use a wheelchair, as they help maintain an upright posture and keep them centered.

The inner part of the wheelchair armrest cushion is constructed with high-density foam, providing the appropriate firmness to support the arm of a stroke victim. The side extension of the arm support serves as a cushion to protect the patient from impact and allows for comfortable leaning while remaining upright, thus reducing lateral leaning.

The wheelchair arm cushion features a deeper lateral arm trough to protect the arm when navigating through tight spaces. This arm trough cushion improves arm positioning and stability, preventing shifting or slipping.

To keep the arms securely in place, the wheelchair armrest pad includes two adjustable arm straps that can immobilize hemiplegic arms effectively. The straps accommodate a wide range of lengths and ensure a secure fit, regardless of arm size. They can be adjusted to the shortest length when not in use without interfering with the arm's placement on the cushion.

Made with a leather cover and a high-density foam core, the wheelchair arm pad is easy to clean. The smooth leather cover allows for quick and effortless wiping by the user or caregiver, maintaining the elbows soft and comfortable. Unlike nylon armrest pads, the textured leather cover does not become sticky from perspiration.

The slot on the bottom of the wheelchair armrest lateral support cushion allows for easy installation and removal on most types of wheelchair arm supports. This versatile accessory can be used on either the left or right arm support, providing stability and comfort whenever needed.
