Introducing MyoPods – wireless, myoelectric sensors that provide fast, precise control for Hero RGD and Hero PRO. You might have seen the demo of Hero PRO crawling across the table on social media! Well that’s not all MyoPods can do. Here are five features these compact sensors offer.
MyoPods can be easily integrated with our Hero FLEX socket or used with a different custom-built socket using provided inserts. Need to make adjustments after fitting? No problem! The ratcheting features allow for a wide range of adjustments even after the initial fitting, ensuring high-quality signal pickup and a personalized fit.
Because MyoPods are wireless, as a prosthetist, you have the flexibility to place them wherever needed, even beyond the elbow. This makes MyoPods an ideal solution for patients with a range of limb differences, including above-elbow amputations. Combine a body-powered elbow and MyoPods for a seamless control experience, without the need for electronic pass-through elbow components or an additional battery.
MyoPods are built for practicality with a three-day battery life and wireless charging. Keep track of battery life via the Sidekick App.
With the Sidekick App, you can easily adjust sensitivity of MyoPods based on the activity at hand. Whether performing delicate fine motor tasks or engaging in high-intensity activities, the app lets you fine-tune the control to meet your needs.
MyoPods are IP67 water-resistant, offering peace of mind for patients with active lifestyles. Whether you’re swimming, sweating, or going about your day, MyoPods can withstand heat, cold, water, dust, providing durability when you need it most.
For below-elbow patients with longer forearms, MyoPods can be mounted on a separate arm band, paired with a shortened socket suspended from the wrist. This design allows for natural wrist pronation and supination, and with the wireless setup, patients can move their wrist freely, minimizing compensatory movements.
Ready to experience MyoPods for yourself? Book a demo below and see how these small but mighty sensors can improve your fitting process and patient adoption. If you’re a researcher and would like to purchase MyoPods, please visit our shop. If you have a project that requires access to myoelectrical signals from a discreet wearable EMG sensor, get in touch! We’re excited to see what people can do with this technology.
