Arm prompts
Figure 17a:
Arm prompts give extra lifting
support and provide positioning support
during ambulation for clients who have low
muscle tone. Arm prompts adjust in many
directions and angles to accommodate
different positioning requirements.
If arm prompts were purchased initially
with the TRAM they will be attached and
ready for use. If they were purchased
separately, mounting brackets must be
installed onto the body support.
Attaching arm prompts and
mounting brackets:
• Figure 17b:
Remove the plastic hole
cover (A) from the body support channel
by unscrewing wing knob (B) inside the
channel.
• Figure 17c:
Install the mounting bracket
(C) on the body support channel with
the large, lipped end up.
• Securely tighten the attachment knob
(D) on the threaded stud, which will now
be protruding inside the body support
channel.
• Figure 17d:
Install the mounting arm by
pressing the red adjustment button (E)
and sliding it over the mounting bracket
from the top or bottom.
Tip:
Arm supports generally give the
most lifting support when adjusted with
the client’s elbow directly below the
shoulder.
