Forearm (or Leg) “Sleeve” Weights
This revolutionary tapered ‘sleeve weight’ provides excellent proprioceptive deep pressure input to forearms or legs; increasing kinesthetic feedback and sensory awareness. A versatile alternative for those who need extra sensory input during handwriting, but aren’t able to tolerate a weighted glove or weighted pencil. These unique weighted compression sleeves are made of durable black lycra that’s double-stitched for strength and filled with lead-free steel shot. Sleeve weights are sold individually. To determine the correct size and weight, measure from the wrist to the crook of the elbow:
- X-Small: 5″ – 1/4 lb. weight / forearm circumference of 5″ to 6.5″
- Small: 5-1/2″ – 1/2 lb. weight / forearm circumference of 6.5″ to 8″
- Medium: 6-1/2″ – 1 lb. weight / forearm circumference of 8″ to 9.5″
- Large: 7-1/2″ – 1 lb. weight / forearm circumference of 9.5″ to 11.5″
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD
