L.R. –
The SaeboMas Mini is a great piece of kit for home use. It allows my husband to exercise his affected arm both independently and safely, and therefore build on exercises learned in therapy sessions. It has also given him the confidence of movement, previously restricted by fear of pain.
As a result of using the SaeboMas Mini device, my husband has gained muscle strength in his affected arm, as well as seen a reduction in his shoulder subluxation, which was previously quite impaired. His physio tells me that she now sees flickers in his triceps which is encouraging, especially when you consider the prognosis was for no upper limb movement at all.
I firmly believe that this is an essential piece of equipment for upper limb improvement, and would definitely recommend it.
Michael-Che Swisher –
I heard about the SaeboMAS from my occupational therapist. I was not recovering as we had hoped, so it seemed that I would have to adjust to my new disabilities instead of hoping for a full recovery. I was excited at the prospect of painting again with the use of the MAS. For almost a year, I had to rely entirely on my left hand. When Saebo shipped a MAS to my OT facility, I was amazed at the smooth motion I could accomplish with the support. Holding my arm up and moving it around were my biggest issues and the support helped with that. It also decreased the pain involved with both.
