The MyoPro 2X is designed to be an electronically controlled brace for daily living.

What to Expect

Integrating MyoPro® into Your Day

Adopting the MyoPro® 2X into your daily routine is a gradual process focused on comfort, familiarity, and consistent use.

1

The Custom Fit

Your orthotist adjusts the carbon fiber frame and padding to match your unique arm anatomy and optimize fit.

2

The “Break-In” Period

You’ll start with short wear sessions (approx. 30-45 minutes) to allow your skin and muscles to acclimate to the MyoPro’s support.

3

Extended Functional Reach

As you become familiar with the MyoPro, you’ll practice “Reach-to-Grasp” maneuvers, utilizing the MyoPro’s motorized assistance to extend your arm further and hold objects longer without fatigue.

4

All-Day Independence

The goal is to gradually increase wear time and incorporate the MyoPro® into daily routines and activities.

Who It Is For

Who This Is For (And Who It’s Not)

This is for

  • Active/Motivated Users: Those who want to perform “bilateral” tasks (using both hands) throughout the day.
  • Individuals with Muscle Weakness: Those who find that their arm becomes heavy, weak, or difficult to use during repetitive activity or prolonged use.

This is not for

  • Unmanaged Edema: If your arm experiences significant swelling that changes daily, the custom fit of the MyoPro may become uncomfortable.
  • Water-Based Activities: The MyoPro contains sophisticated electronics and cannot be submerged or worn in the shower.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the MyoPro 2X actually weigh?

The device typically weighs between 3 and 4 pounds, depending on the custom components.

Because the weight is distributed across the arm and may be supported by a shoulder harness, many users find it comfortable to wear during daily activities.

Will the device irritate my skin?

The MyoPro 2X uses medical-grade, breathable liners. We teach users and caregivers to perform regular skin checks, and liners can be easily cleaned or replaced to maintain hygiene.

Can I wear the MyoPro under my clothes?

The MyoPro is not typically worn under clothing. Some users wear loose-fitting or over-sized button-down shirts or jackets over the device.

How does the “Reach-to-Grasp” feature work?

The MyoPro 2X sensors detect your intent to reach. The motors then assist in extending the elbow and opening/closing the hand, allowing you to pick up items like a water bottle or a phone from a table. * Note: the MyoPro does not help at the shoulder.

Is it difficult to put on (don) by myself?

Many users learn one-handed donning techniques over time and may be able to put on the device independently after training. Early on, having a caregiver assist with donning and sensor placement can be helpful.

How long does the battery last for daily wear?

The battery is designed to last a full day of typical functional use. We recommend charging it overnight, similar to a smartphone.

Can I drive while wearing the MyoPro?

No, it is not recommended for driving due to safety concerns.

Does it make a lot of noise?

The motors produce a faint, low-decibel hum when active. Most users find that it quickly blends into the background noise of a typical home or office environment.
