Arm support for cyclist
A road traffic accident left this young father with very little strength in one arm and he wished to continue cycling with his family.
A moulding was prepared to give rigid support to part of his upper arm, all of his forearm, the palm of his hand and part of his fingers. A spring clip was attached under the palm and a series of Velcro fastenings applied the splint to his arm and hand. The spring clip fastens to the handlebar. He can now cycle safely and accompany his family on cycle rides.
