Myo Plus TR

Even after an amputation, mental control of the hand remains mapped in the brain. Amputees can often still imagine closing their hand or rotating it. The corresponding nerve signals continue to be sent as well. The only thing missing is the corresponding organ for implementing the commands.

Myo Plus prosthesis control uses electrodes to measure the incoming signals on the forearm, deriving patterns from them that are characteristic for individual movements. Complex mathematical algorithms transform and amplify these signals so a prosthesis can translate them into the corresponding movement.

A fitting with Myo Plus pattern recognition is suitable for new and existing myoelectric forearm fittings after traumatic amputations or with congenital malformations of the forearm.

A test to determine whether a Myo Plus fitting is suitable can be performed easily with no check socket using the Myo cuff. Just talk to your O&P professional.

Myo Plus pattern recognition is fitted by certified O&P professionals in partner medical supply companies whose employees have completed special training.

Certified medical supply companies are found in our dealer directory. A qualified O&P professional will advise you and adapt the prosthesis to your individual needs.

No, the use of Myo Plus prosthesis control is currently limited to prosthetic fittings of the forearm. However, research and development are being carried out in this area.

The battery capacity depends on the individual usage profile for the prosthesis to a large extent. There are several battery options with different installed sizes and capacities.

It is not possible to make any general statements regarding this. However, the amount of training required to confidently use a myoelectric hand prosthesis can be compared with learning to play a musical instrument.

After a few hours, it is usually possible to open and close the prosthetic hand. Beyond that, successful integration at work and in everyday life requires regular use. It usually takes around three to six months for most users to integrate the prosthesis into their daily lives.

The full potential of Myo Plus is realised in conjunction with the MyoBock terminal devices, and especially with the bebionic hand. However, the bebionic hand is not ideal for all activities at work and in everyday life. That is why Myo Plus control is also compatible with other MyoBock terminal devices, such as the VariPlus Speed hand and System Electric Greifer.

This allows users to choose a solution that is optimally adapted to their activities.
