MyoPro
Myoelectric Arm Orthosis.
Overview
The MyoPro is a myoelectric upper limb orthosis designed to support a weak or paralyzed arm and hand. It works by reading the faint nerve signals (EMG) from the surface of the skin, then activating small motors to move the arm and hand as the user intends. It is a non-invasive device that can enable individuals to perform daily activities and is designed for personal ownership and use.
✨ Key Features
- Myoelectric control using non-invasive EMG sensors
- Powered assistance for elbow, wrist, and hand movements
- Custom-fabricated to fit the individual user
- Designed for functional use in daily activities
- Reimbursed by Medicare and other insurers
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Uses myoelectric (EMG) signals for intuitive, user-driven control.
- Designed as a functional aid for daily living, not just a therapy device.
- Custom-fabricated for each user.
Unique Value: Empowers individuals with upper limb paralysis to regain their independence by amplifying their own nerve signals to control their arm and hand, enabling them to perform meaningful daily tasks.
🎯 Use Cases (3)
✅ Best For
- FDA registered and used by hundreds of individuals to regain arm and hand function for activities of daily living.
