"Before my stroke, I used to play basketball with my daughter in our yard. What is funny is that I have been dying to bounce a ball. I mean really bounce a ball! And, I did that with one of the therapists. I was like, ‘Wow! I really did it!’ It was difficult and hard to control, but I did it myself."

myomo for Patients & Caregivers -- Is It Right For Me

Men and women of all ages are restoring movement to their arms with the Myomo® Mobility System. With commitment to a therapy protocol with Myomo, a stroke survivor can begin using their arms for routine, daily tasks that were not possible before. The therapeutic effect varies from person to person, but a good reference is learning how to write: it takes a while for the brain and muscles to master it, but you can begin to see progress quickly.

If you are experiencing limited mobility or muscle weakness in the arm due to a neurological disorder, you may be a candidate for the Myomo Mobility System.

Myomo is applicable to a broad range of stroke survivors. It used to be believed that stroke victims had maximized their recovery within the first six months following the episode. However, now research shows that recovery can take place for several years after a stroke. Myomo technology has been clinically proven effective in patients from two days to 20 years post stroke.

"For 20 years, I’ve thought about picking up my arm and moving it, and all of the sudden, I am moving it now like I used to. My arm has woken up. I am more aware of it, and find I use it unconsciously."

""I can feel my arm more, and can move it further and faster. I am now able to do things that I could not before like pouring my own creamer into my coffee cup, and removing mail from an envelope with a letter opener."

"I believe that Myomo will change the future of stroke rehabilitation. It has the potential to give my child back the use of his right arm. When Myomo becomes available for home use, we will be the first to purchase one. That's how strongly I believe in Myomo and the wonderful people behind it."
