**Designer:** Nate Munro
**Description:**
This brace plate anchors the drive-line for the NIOP Kwawu Remix and Shelbow modules from the NIOP modular arm system. It is recommended that you print the brace plate in PETG, although PLA works.
The example shown in the photos was not tied with a knot yet so the recipient could do a final adjustment when they received it. The small gold pin shown in the pictures was just to secure the drive-line during shipping. The drive-line should be tied securely to the hole at the end of the plate. You can add a drop of super glue to the knot for extra reinforcement.
A strip of 2" wide nylon webbing was used as a backing to keep the neoprene brace from tearing under the pressure. The brace plate can be fused to the Nylon webbing with Locktite plastic bonder in addition to the stitching to ensure the plate is responsive when pulled.
***It is strongly recommended that you see a professional prosthetist for guidance before using this device. You can do permanent damage to the wearer with improperly fitted devices, so get a professional to help advise you. If you can not afford to see a doctor or live where they are unavailable, visit enablingthefuture.org to find a volunteer prosthetist to help.***
