Suffering a brachial plexus injury (BPI) or other upper limb or spinal neurological damage from vehicle, on-the-job or other accident can be devastating:  pain, weakened arm, and in some cases a completely “dead arm”.  Some patients have even been recommended amputation as the best alternative.

But for many, there is a better answer.  Myomo, a medical robotics company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has developed the MyoPro. It is currently the only marketed device that, sensing a patient’s own EMG signals through non-invasive sensors on the arm, can restore an individual’s ability to perform activities of daily living, including feeding themselves, carrying objects and doing household tasks. Many are able to return to work, live independently and reduce their cost of care. Myomo is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with sales and clinical professionals across the U.S. For more information, please visit www.myomo.com
