The Thomas Steady Arm
Enables users with tremors to write and feed themselves.
The Thomas Steady Arm is a writing aid and arm support designed for use by children and adults with disabilities causing arm and hand tremors. The user's right or left arm is placed in the trough-style arm holder, the straps secured, and the tension adjuster set to counter the tremors, thus enabling the user to feed him or herself, write, turn pages, etc. The unit clamps to a tabletop or to a wheelchair.
"A woman hadn't fed herself in 14 years because of heavy tremors."
Ms. Christie recalled. "I wanted to invent something that would emulate
an arm, something that would stabilize movement."
"Rebecca Christie never had visions of becoming an inventor. But as an
occupational therapist who worked with a woman who had Parkinson's
Disease and multiple sclerosis, she wanted to improve the quality of life
of people who have difficulty using their arms."
For all ages.
Dishwasher safe.
