What are arm and hand function aids?
Arm and hand function aids are assistive devices that support reach, grip, and manipulation when arm or hand strength is reduced, ranging from simple adaptive cuffs to powered mobile arm supports and robotic feeding devices. The NDIS funds these items as assistive technology when they are prescribed to meet a participant’s functional needs, following an assessment by an occupational therapist (NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27).
For someone in South Australia, the right aid is the one matched to daily tasks that have become hard, whether that is eating, writing, using a phone or getting dressed. A simple adaptive cuff that holds a utensil can restore independent eating for far less than a powered device, so an in-home assessment usually starts with what the person wants to do again rather than with the most advanced technology.
Who it is for and how it is funded
These aids suit people with reduced upper limb function from conditions such as spinal cord injury, muscular dystrophy, motor neurone disease, stroke, or cerebral palsy. Under the NDIS, devices are funded through the Assistive Technology support category, with the assessment itself claimable under Improved Daily Living (NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27). Older Australians in South Australia can access equivalent aids through Support at Home’s Assistive Technology and Home Modifications scheme (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025).
Finding an arm and hand aid provider in South Australia
Simple aids can be low cost, while powered arm supports and robotic devices run into the thousands, and higher-cost items usually need a fuller occupational therapy assessment and a written prescription. When you look for a provider in South Australia, check that the occupational therapist has experience with upper limb equipment for your specific condition, and ask whether a trial of the device is possible before purchase, since powered supports need to be fitted and set up to the individual to be worth the cost.
Availability on Carevo
