Infinite Technologies is the first facility in Virginia to be certified in The MyoPro™, which is a Myoelectric Arm Orthosis designed to enable individuals to self-initiate and control movements of a partially paralyzed or weakened arm using their own muscle signals. When the user tries to bend their arm, sensors in the brace detect the weak muscle signal, which activates the motor to move the arm in the desired direction. The user is completely controlling their own arm; the brace amplifies their weak muscle signal to help bend and move their arm. With the brace, a paralyzed individual, such as one who has suffered a stroke, or other neuromuscular disorder, can perform activities of daily living including feeding, reaching, and lifting.

The MyoPro offers a variety of benefits including:

• Restoring arm function at the elbow, enabling functional tasks and stabilization
• Customized molding makes brace easy to put on one handed and comfortable for all day wear
• Advanced configuration software allows programming of brace to individual needs. As patient’s condition changes, software settings can easily be modified to ensure optimum benefit from the brace
• Customized look for each patient
