In general
The Armon Ayura is an electronically controlled (24V=) mechanical arm support. The main goals are: to
increase upper limb mobility, make the user less dependant and improve quality of life.
General idea: the Ayura compensates the weight of the arm. When the arm is compensated and therefore
feels weightless, the user can make all movements possible using the strenght he/she
’s got left.
It’s possible to also compensate the weight of an object and overcompensate to lift the
arm above the
head. The Ayura also has functions to ease or manipulate certain movements.
The weight compensation is electronically steplessly adjustable through the controls. The Ayura also has a
horizontal/vertical lock, a rotation lock, and a tilt function.
The arm support does not take over any function. It only support the natural arm movements. The user
makes all the movements himself. This is good for the muscles, joints and motor functions of the user. The
Armon Ayura follows all movements and supports the arm in a 3D area.
The Armon Ayura can compensate an arm weight from +/- 900 gram up to 3400 gram. The Ayura light can
compensate an arm weight from +/- 600 gram up to 2500 gram. It is possible to mount all types of Armon
Braces.
Intended use:
The Armon Ayura is an electronically controlled dynamic arm support and should only be used to support
the weight of an arm with a maximum weight of 4500 gram per arm included held objects. This max load
should never be exceeded.
Left, right or both arms can be supported. It is important to choose the right brace for optimal functionality.
The Armon pura can be mounted on a wheel chair, working chair or on a stand.
