Myomo Inc announces free screening clinics in May for potential users of the MyoPro powered brace to be evaluated by clinical specialists to determine if it could be helpful for them.
The free open screening clinics are planned for Boston; Hartford, Conn; New York City; Livonia, Madison Heights, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Grand Blanc and Detroit, Mich; Chicago; Milwaukee; Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio; Salt Lake City; and San Francisco. Screenings at additional locations are planned for June.
These screenings are held in collaboration with Myomo Inc’s Centers of Excellence, other orthotics and prosthetics practices, and its rehabilitation therapy partners.
During the screenings, according to Myomo Inc in a media release, Myomo and its partners offer potential users the chance to be evaluated by clinical specialists and to examine a MyoPro powered brace for themselves to determine if the MyoPro might help them overcome upper-limb paralysis caused by stroke, brachial plexus injury, or other neuromuscular disease or injury.
“Many individuals with a paralyzed arm and hand after a stroke or injury are told they’ll never use that limb again for the rest of their lives,” says Cliff Conneighton, Myomo’s chief marketing officer, in the release.
“With our MyoPro powered arm brace, many are able to regain movement and restore functional ability so they can return to work, feed themselves, and perform daily living tasks. We are launching this screening campaign to educate and assist more individuals, families, physicians, and therapists about the benefit of the MyoPro myoelectric orthosis.”
