‘Go Wing’ Mobile Arm Support

Problem

Phil would like greater mobility in using his arm while in the mobile arm support.

Task

Veteran is using a mobile arm support called a “Go Wing” where his arm is positioned palm down.  He would like to be able to have something that can rotate his forearm from palm down to a thumbs up position. Variations in the way the support could twist/turn, would greatly enhance ability to have independence and better quality of life.
