It is currently the only marketed medical robotics device that 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 and rehabilitation. The MyoPro upper extremity orthosis is covered by most commercial insurance companies in the United States, and by the U.S. Veterans Administration.
