is this good for arm use?

I never try it for arms, but I think if it is so good for legs, it should be no problem for arms.

yep. I got an extra set of handles for that. You just have to make sure it is at the proper height for your use. You know, either adjust the chair or the surface you're placing the pedal unit on--depending if you are standing or sitting to use it. It's a really sturdy item, Good quality. I chose that brand because it is the one the physical therapy clinic is using and I knew it was pretty sturdy. You may also have to put some if that rubber net stuff(that is used in drawers or, the kind that got under area rugs- without the sticky adhesive) under the feet of the unit to deter slippage depending on your resting surface.

Yes, it is effective for arms too. You will need to adjust the tension down when working your arms.

I have used it for arm use, although not as often as for the legs. It works very well when seated at a table (I use our kitchen table) that hits slightly above your waist. This provides excellent positioning for arm clearance. If your purpose is therapeutic, this is the perfect unit, as the resistance is adjustable and you can easily begin at very low resistance, if necessary. It is an excellent movement for encouraging lymphatic drainage in the arms, as well.

Yes. You get a workout lifting it onto a table and then another one when using the resistance for your arm work!

Yes, it can be used for arms. The unit is sturdy, but not to heavy for me to lift. However my 88 yr old mother cannot.

Hi there! I actually purchased it for use as therapy on my shoulder injury from an auto accident. Good for both arms and legs. :-)

I have used it under my arms and it worked great. Very smooth. Just make sure you put your arm up and the skin under is taut.

I have little arms and it works fine for me, for the price you can't go wrong. It has a strap on it where you should be able to pull it tighter if need to.

My forearm is supported by my tall stand up desk. I think having support helps with maintaining control of the pointer by steadying the arm. Although by decreasing the sensitivity it might work ok without the forearm support. I have my sensitivity set at the maximum setting to reduce arm movement.

I think it would work better with an arm rest, but I don't think its mandatory. If you are having arm or wrist problems, an arm rest will help you nearly as much as a vertical mouse. I love mine by the way!

I use it for my chin and I have to go over and over, it is not strong/fast. I do not think this would be good for under the arms. I would look for a wider one, with more tweezers, and possibly with a cord. Usually items with batteries are not as strong/fast

it does give a better grip but not ideal for handheld without accessories(shoulder rig). works best as platform for add-ons.

I think so, if you don't need alot of pressure or force, it is a sturdy tool but it does have some bend to it. Since it has an attachment, you can put any kind of pen shaped tool in its arm. I am very pleased with mine, but only have used it on paper. Hope that helps.

I wouldn't recommend it. The arm is pretty strong, but since you are using it on a treadmill the vibration plus the weight of the tablet might bring the arm down. If you find a flat surface next to your treadmill you might have better luck.

As long as your desk is at a comfortable height I don't see why it would be any problem for a short person. The arm swings such that it can take in any radius from zero (right on top of the clamp) to it's maximum length (about 1 foot). Your elbow or forearm travels in the pad rest. I have mine positioned between 2 computers and can use it for mousing on both of them without relocating the arm rest. The rest is good for both mousing and keyboard. I tend to slide from by forearm for mousing to my elbow for keyboarding. That's probably because I am using it on two computers at once.

I have no idea. But I have arthritis in both of my arms and I have no problem using it.

No it is not for only large arms, I have quite small arms & have used it for myself. The word "large" is confusing as the unit is small. I think it refers to the large text on display screen! which is a feature I much like :-)

Hi James B! Yes....You should be just fine. There's plenty of velcro left after I put it on. And Im not a small guy. It's a great armband. This is,my second one. Enjoy brother.

yes...you should be able to do that. I have used the arm in two configurations. on either side of my laptop and on top of each other.

Hello, yes it can be used for arm exercises. I bought the pedal exerciser for my 86 year old mother for her exercises & she loves it. Now we all use it for legs & arms. I was concerned that it would move around while using but it doesn't.

It's awkward, but you can use it if you need it. If you have big forearms or hands, it might be a bad idea though.

Sorry for the delay in answering. The arm only rotates side to side. Not sure if that helps you or not.
