Myomo Introduces MyoGames\u2122<\/b><\/p>\n

Video Games Played via MyoPro for Training, Rehabilitation and Fun<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Myomo, Inc. (NYSE American: MYO)<\/b> (\u201cMyomo\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), a wearable medical robotics company offering increased functionality for individuals suffering from neurological disorders and upper-limb paralysis, announced today the availability of MyoGames by Lusio, a video game platform designed to augment training and rehabilitation for MyoPro users, while being fun. MyoGames enables users to play video games by actively engaging their paralyzed or weakened arm or hand with the MyoPro. The first game, basketball, is available immediately with other titles to follow.\n<\/p>\n

\nMyoGames was developed in collaboration with Lusio Technology Pty Ltd, a game developer focused on the rehabilitation market and based in New South Wales, Australia.\n<\/p>\n

\nJon Naft, Myomo\u2019s Vice President and General Manager International, said, \u201cThe games complement our existing therapeutic protocol. This increase in training is expected to help a new MyoPro recipient to be more proficient with activities of daily living. MyoGames is intended to give users of all ages something new and captivating to pursue with their device as they master it. In addition, the repetitive motion required for a game like basketball is the foundation of neurological rehabilitation and may accelerate neuro recovery.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nShiven Ruparel, Myomo\u2019s Director of Product Management explained, \u201cThe vision for MyoGames is to be a gaming platform with a library of games available that all lead to the same two goals – accelerate the rehabilitation of users and improve their ability to perform everyday functional tasks. The first game, basketball, will be distributed as part of the MyoPro package at no additional cost and subsequent games will be available on a monthly subscription basis. In addition to being a new revenue stream, MyoGames is intended to make practice with a MyoPro more engaging, which is expected to increase a patient\u2019s probability of achieving a better outcome. Better outcomes are expected to add to our clinical data for medical and insurance reimbursement purposes, which may lead to increased patient access for the MyoPro. It\u2019s a win-win.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nMyoGames is designed to complement the MyoCare program introduced in July. MyoCare offers new MyoPro users a personal coach and a series of training videos to help them maximize the benefits of their device.\n<\/p>\n
