About

People with limb differences deserve top end functionality and a sense of normalcy at a price they can afford. We understand: (1) Rehabilitation starts when people find support (2) The problems in prosthetics come from the technology (3) You can't "fix" nature So we don't make replacement limbs. Instead, we make advanced prosthetic tools intuitive and accessible. Our products are designed to give people with limb differences the dexterity they need to easily do household tasks, excel in their chosen profession, and bond with their loved ones. Our flagship product, the Myoplexer, is designed to enable robust, dexterous control of upper limb prosthetics. As the Myoplexer is a high-density array that wraps around the forearm, it can obtain information from many muscles at the same time. The twist is that the type of sensor used in the Myoplexer actually measures muscle length, force, and speed. The same cannot be said of EMG (electromyography). By moving away from EMG, we are also able to reduce the price of advanced sensor arrays. Currently, the Myoplexer is for research use only (not medical).
