Introduction; Possible Benefits; Contraindications - Saebo SaeboMAS mini Product Manual

The SaeboMAS mini is a lightweight, zero gravity, dynamic mobile arm support that challenges
and assists the weakened shoulder and elbow during functional tasks. This compact device was
specifically designed for clients suffering from neurological and orthopedic conditions resulting in
shoulder and elbow weakness.
The SaeboMAS mini is the ideal home program solution to improve strength, motor recovery,
and independence. Clients will be able to perform functional exercises with greater ease and
minimal compensation. Additionally, this personal device allows for enhanced independence for
self-care, leisure or occupational tasks like using a computer, eating, drinking, or grooming.
The main feature of the SaeboMAS mini is the tension system. Based on the functional goals,
the adjustable spring based parallelogram provides precise customization for assistance or
resistance. Whether the client requires extra assistance for functional tasks or less assistance to
further challenge his or her strength during exercise, the proprietary tension system is fully
adjustable.
