Frequently asked questions
Does the armweight provide proprioceptive input?
Yes, the Kinsman Armweight is specifically engineered to provide targeted proprioceptive input through weight and compression.
This therapeutic input is highly effective for:
- Sensory Support: Assisting individuals with diminished sensory feedback.
- Enhanced Awareness: Increasing kinesthetic awareness during daily activities and physical rehabilitation.
- Motor Tasks: Aiding in strengthening exercises and improving stability for fine motor and self-help tasks.
Built for durability, the sleeve is a tough, double-stitched tubular design made from latex-free stretch cotton Lycra. The weighting material is safe, lead-free steel shot. The armweight is offered in configurations ranging from ¼ lb to 1 lb to fit forearm circumferences between 5 inches and 14 inches.
Is the internal weight lead-free?
Yes, the Kinsman Armweight is specifically designed for safety and durability, using materials that include lead-free components.
- Weighting Material: The sleeve is filled with lead-free steel shot to provide the essential weight/compression input for sensory feedback or strengthening exercises.
- Sleeve Construction: The tubular sleeve itself is made from durable, latex-free stretch cotton Lycra, and is double-stitched throughout to enhance strength and ensure the secure containment of the steel shot during repeated use.
Does the Armweight use safe, latex-free materials?
Yes, the Kinsman Armweight is constructed using durable, high-quality materials, ensuring user safety and comfort.
- The sleeve itself is made from latex-free stretch cotton Lycra.
- The internal weighting is provided by lead-free steel shot.
This material combination makes the armweight suitable for individuals with latex sensitivities while providing reliable proprioceptive input.
What size and weight options are available?
The Kinsman Armweight is offered in five specific configurations, ensuring a proper fit and targeted therapeutic weight for effective proprioceptive input.
The sleeve is constructed from durable, double-stitched, latex-free stretch cotton Lycra and uses lead-free steel shot for weighting.
