Adjustable Power Assistance

NeuroRobotics helps individuals relearn how to move severely weak or partially paralyzed limbs by facilitating their capacity to perform therapeutic exercises that they otherwise might not be able to do. Through EMG (electromyography)-controlled robotic capabilities, Myomo's advanced technology helps patients achieve desired movement by amplifying the patient-controlled movement. The technology's real-time adjustable assistance parameters allows therapists to customize the amount of assistance to patient skill level.

By assisting a person's ability to practice desired movements with affected limbs, NeuroRobotics offers individuals the opportunity to benefit from research demonstrating that highly repetitive exercise may facilitate muscle re-education with concomitant improved motor abilities.

Wearable, portable NeuroRobotic devices may also facilitate interventions, such as Constraint Induced Motion Therapy (CIMT), which suggest that stroke survivors may relearn to use the weakened side through "forced training" of the affected limb.
