Description
MyoPro Motion-G elbow-hand orthosis is an assistive device based on research starting from 1990.  One application is for people who are unable to regain 100% functionality of their arm and hand after suffering a paralysis due to stroke.

- Ambulatory
- Viable proximal and distal EMG signal
