Mobile Arm Rehabilitation Kit (Mark)

The Mobile Arm Rehabilitation Kit (MARK) is a kit containing two (left and right) MyoPro upper extremity limb orthoses. A MyoPro upper extremity limb orthosis is an assistive device that supports a weakened or deformed limb for functional improvement. The user’s electromyography (EMG) muscle activity is used to voluntarily control the impaired limb. The MARK product consists of a combination of the following components: shoulder harnesses, adjustable limb orthoses (braces), powered elbow orthoses with surface electromyography (EMG) sensors, static or manually set multi-articulating wrists (MAW), static hand orthoses or powered hand orthoses with EMG sensors, an interchangeable battery with a separate recharging station, an MTS chafe with loop for anti-rotation strap, a laptop, and a product carrying case/bag. The MyoPro’s EMG-control circuit continuously monitors and senses, but does not stimulate, the User’s muscles. A MyoPro device filters and processes the EMG signal, and translates this information into motor movement. Based on the User’s needs and abilities, the control parameters are adjusted by the User’s Provider. The power assist moves the motor with speed proportional to User’s exertion. This system enables the MyoPro to assist the User to initiate and complete desired motions.
