Staying adequately hydrated is a major healthcare concern for patients and family members. One limiting factor is the ability of people with medical conditions to safely hold drinks without spilling. The patent pending ACG Hands-Free Support System for the Disabled is assistive technology, also known as an adaptive device, to resolve significant drinking problems for adults and children suffering
from neuromuscular diseases (e.g., Parkinson’s Disease, Muscular Dystrophy, Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, ALS, etc.), stroke, traumatic brain injuries, paralysis, spinal cord injuries, amputations, dementia, birth defects, visual impairments, burns, and upper extremity injuries. Made in Coral Springs, Florida, this durable medical equipment has eight points of adjustability for both adults and children with a customized drink support system, a reducer to hold smaller nutritional drinks, water and soda bottles and other beverages, accessories for holding cellphones, tablets, and books, and a tray system to hold snacks, drinks and a computer notebook (in development). Mounting can be done on tables, wheelchairs, IV poles, hospital beds and trays, and many other support structures. While originally designed for persons with medical conditions, now many others can also benefit when their hands are too busy, dirty or in bulky gloves to easily hold drinks. Whether it’s holding your game controller, creating art, holding an instrument, preparing food, operating machinery, or having limited desk space, this system is perfect for your needs. It can also hold your cellphone, computer tablet
or a book in a convenient viewing location.
