Do you think these would work for someone with the use of only one arm? Currently using velcro closures.

It takes two hands to set up the lock laces into place. Mainly slipping the laces into the lock wheel because it is not difficult but not easy to hold the button down, which opens the wheel, to allow the laces to thread into. After the set up process, fit the shoe how you want it to feel while wearing them and you will never need to tighten, loosen or use two hands to slip your shoes on again.

If someone else initially laced the shoes and adjusted the tightness, then getting your foot in and out with one hand would work well. These would be very difficult to tighten with one hand. But most days there is no need to tighten them.

If they have someone lace them initially to the right size AND if they have they strength to pull the shoe on, I believe they could. It takes a little extra strength to get them on. I am 79 and have no problems but I am fairly strong.

It will be pretty hard. It's possible but not simple. You need to squeeze the retainer and pull the laces tight at the same time.

Hi Michael! They just might work. I tried them on & poked the end of the kitchen knife into them pretty hard & it didn't go through. Probably not a smart move, but wanted to try & help. Hope I did!! Ouse them for the fireplace & oven as I always burn my arms. Marcie & Munchkin

The Velcro has held up fine so far for me, i can't remember if there were different sizes but there is not a lot of extra left at the end after fastening so if you have a large bicep you may want to consider that. I think my bicep is about 11".....

The directions strictly suggest that you only use them for your underarms, but I suppose it would work, considering it's a miracle for the underarms.

I only need one. It's another piece of 'variety' equipment I use from time to time. Hadn't any thought given for using 'two' yet as I write this I can see there are possibilities, such as doing 'shakes' at the same time using both arms separately. You know you got me thinking now, ha! Always be open minded when about training. Always some new & good ideas out there. And I've been training over 50+ years. You might be on to something, that is using two. Mike

It takes a bit of practice in order to apply one handed, but it can be done. You basically have to trap one side under your arm for example then pull and wrap around to tighten it down. As you wrap it around each time the rubbery material clings to itself.

Cant say for sure as I used my 4 wraps on my midsection (and it worked great btw...I will be repurchasing!) But I think they would work on the arms, id be willing to try. Plus depending on how big the arms are you might be able to cut one wrap in half and double the applications! Give it a shot

I don't know if they're meant to be, but the springy steel of the cuffs can be "opened up" for us with larger arms. I've found they work better a little tight, so as to stay on the arm if you release the handhold to use your hand for something. Very satisfied with mine.

I don't feel that they slip much and they don't cover a substantial part of your wrist, so I would think it should work. I love these gloves! I want to get some heavier ones now.

I think these would find crutch hand grips. I use them on a walker, and they have a velcro closure and can be made a bit snugger--for crutches.

Don't think so. Mine works perfectly with just the screw and I have no memory of any type of sleeve provided in the package. Of course, it is not necessary to screw down excessively to hold the arm in the desired position...just a little less than "hand tight" should be fine and you won't distort (i.e., "crush inward") the arm. I use it during grooming of our two Miniature Schnauzers and, once set, haven't had to adjust it.

My mother's arms are thin therefore there was no problem. Since these gloves are not a compression style glove, I don't see that there would be much of a struggle.

No. I don't think that would leave enough velcro connected to be comfortable. I am at about 20" and I prefer to use it on my forearm just because it seems more secure.

A bit awkward, I can manage one arm at a time, it is Velcro fastener so easy to adapt. I hope this info helps.

Yes, I use them up and down my arms...but only one arm at a time. I haven't mastered hula hooping with both arms at once!

I only have one per arm, you might be put two on a single pole, but they are made for one.

A smaller armband for small arms is included as well as a standard size, I can't say for sure, but I don't think you would have a problem.
