For healthcare professionals
The MyoPro® is a myoelectric upper-extremity orthotic designed to help improve arm and hand function for individuals with upper-limb weakness or paralysis.
This page is for physicians, therapists, prosthetists, orthotists, and other healthcare professionals involved in evaluating, referring, documenting, or supporting appropriate patients.
Who may be appropriate?
Start with simple functional signs before moving into detailed screening. A potential MyoPro candidate may present with one or more of the following characteristics.
Patient has arm or hand weakness or paralysis that limits use of the affected limb.
Rehab progress has plateaued or meaningful arm and hand function remains limited.
Daily activities such as dressing, hygiene, self-feeding, reaching, or carrying remain difficult.
Cognition and motivation remain strong enough to participate in evaluation, training, and home use.
Common diagnoses may include chronic stroke, brachial plexus injury, traumatic brain injury, or incomplete spinal cord injury.
Multidisciplinary care
Each professional group plays a different role in recognizing appropriate MyoPro patients, documenting need, supporting therapy, coordinating fitting, and helping patients work toward functional goals.
Physicians help identify medical need, document the patient presentation, and support referral or prescribing pathways.
