SaeboMAS mini Product Manual
Introduction
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.

Precautions
To decrease risk of bodily injury, please be sure to lower the Tension Indication Knob completely
until you feel a stop (knob parallel with bottom arrow) prior to opening or closing the SaeboMAS
mini (clipping or unclipping).
The SaeboMAS mini must be mounted to a sturdy table. The device should not be mounted to
unstable surfaces or tables on wheels. Do not mount to plastic tables.
Do not perform hand-to-mouth activities without the Elbow Support. The Elbow Support must be
attached. Without the Elbow Support attached, the Forearm Support may migrate distal (i.e., slip
downwards) towards the wrist. In some cases, the Forearm Support may slip completely off the
arm.
For some individuals, the Forearm Support may migrate distally (i.e., slip downwards) toward
the wrist during use. Add non-slip material, such as waffled shelf liner to minimize migration.
