Myo Plus makes it possible to utilise the prosthesis control functions in a unique and entirely natural manner. It therefore allows the user to intuitively utilise their remaining capabilities.

More intuitive and natural control

Compared to conventional myoelectric systems, no switching signals, such as CoCo or OpenOpen, are required to switch to a desired grip or function. This allows you to concentrate fully on your activities.

Fluid movements without switching

A Myo Plus user shows motifs on a flip chart to a colleague.

Myo Plus allows the user to continuously adapt their prosthesis control device to their individual needs by adding additional grip types to the bebionic hand.

Add additional hand movements yourself

A user with Myo Plus pattern recognition reaches for a slice of bread at a beer garden.

The Myo Plus app lets you easily use and configure your hand prosthesis. It serves as a “window into the prosthesis” and visualizes muscle activities in the residual limb through the spiderplot.

Myo Plus app

A Myo Plus user wearing the bebionic hand in black uses the Myo Plus app on a tablet.

Aside from the bebionic hand, the Myo Plus prosthesis control device is compatible with other analogue and MyoBock terminal devices such as the Electric Greifer. This allows users to choose a solution that is optimally adapted to their activities.

Easily exchange terminal devices

A Myo Plus users switches from the bebionic hand to the Electric Greifer for manual tasks.

Myo Plus is flexible and learns the individual commands directly from the user. It can be improved at any time by independently adding further recordings in everyday life.

Control device learns from the user

A Myo Plus user passes a muffin to a toddler using her prosthetic hand.

Even after a forearm amputation or with a congenital malformation, a mental image of the hand usually remains mapped in the brain. Amputees can still imagine closing, opening or rotating their hand. This activates the remaining muscles in the residual limb.
These muscle signals are transformed into myoelectric signals using electrodes on the forearm and translated directly into a movement of the prosthetic hand. Myo Plus learns to interpret the user’s individual movement patterns, assigning each to a specific prosthesis movement. These patterns can be adapted with the Myo Plus app.
This intuitive control enables users to fully utilise the potential of their highly complex, multi-articulating prosthetic hands. Myo Plus pattern recognition is optimised for the bebionic hand and the MyoBock system.

Wolfgang is a farmer in Germany who lost his right hand in an accident at work. The idea of not wearing a prosthesis was out of the question. Wolfgang therefore uses Myo Plus pattern recognition and switches between his bebionic hand, the VariPlus Speed hand or the System Electric Greifer depending on the situation.

Wolfgang uses Myo Plus pattern recognition

User Wolfgang interacts with the Myo Plus app using the bebionic hand.

At 17, Lina had her right hand and parts of her forearm amputated as a result of a tumour. At first she was shocked, but thanks to the early care she received from her orthopaedic technician, she quickly regained her courage.

Lina with the bebionic hand

Even after an amputation, mental control of the hand remains mapped in the brain. Amputees can often still imagine closing their hand or rotating it. The corresponding nerve signals continue to be sent as well. The only thing missing is the corresponding organ for implementing the commands.
Myo Plus prosthesis control uses electrodes to measure the incoming signals on the forearm, deriving patterns from them that are characteristic for individual movements. Complex mathematical algorithms transform and amplify these signals so a prosthesis can translate them into the corresponding movement.

How does Myo Plus work?

A fitting with Myo Plus pattern recognition is suitable for new and existing myoelectric forearm fittings after traumatic amputations or with congenital malformations of the forearm.

Who can get a Myo Plus fitting?

A test to determine whether a Myo Plus fitting is suitable can be performed easily with no check socket using the Myo cuff. Just talk to your O&amp;P professional.

How can I try out Myo Plus prosthesis control?

Myo Plus pattern recognition is fitted by certified O&amp;P professionals in partner medical supply companies whose employees have completed special training.
Certified medical supply companies are found in our dealer directory. A qualified O&amp;P professional will advise you and adapt the prosthesis to your individual needs.

How can I get Myo Plus prosthesis control?

No, the use of Myo Plus prosthesis control is currently limited to prosthetic fittings of the forearm. However, research and development are being carried out in this area.

I have an upper arm amputation. Can I be fitted with Myo Plus pattern recognition as well?

The battery capacity depends on the individual usage profile for the prosthesis to a large extent. There are several battery options with different installed sizes and capacities.

How long does the battery last with Myo Plus pattern recognition?

It is not possible to make any general statements regarding this. However, the amount of training required to confidently use a myoelectric hand prosthesis can be compared with learning to play a musical instrument.
After a few hours, it is usually possible to open and close the prosthetic hand. Beyond that, successful integration at work and in everyday life requires regular use. It usually takes around three to six months for most users to integrate the prosthesis into their daily lives.

How long does it take to learn how to use Myo Plus prosthesis control?

The full potential of Myo Plus is realised in conjunction with the MyoBock terminal devices, and especially with the bebionic hand. However, the bebionic hand is not ideal for all activities at work and in everyday life. That is why Myo Plus control is also compatible with other MyoBock terminal devices, such as the VariPlus Speed hand and System Electric Greifer.
This allows users to choose a solution that is optimally adapted to their activities.

What terminal devices are compatible with Myo Plus control?

A process known as phantom hand sensation is individual for every individual user. In order to reliably generate trained movement patterns, mental training should be started, especially after an amputation.

Can I improve the mental image of the missing hand?

The Myo Plus app visualises the movement patterns and various control device settings. It is freely available in the iOS and Android Store and can be used on common mobile devices.

What do I need the Myo Plus app for?

The PIN code is enclosed with the control device in the form of a card. If you have lost it, please contact your O&amp;P professional.

Where can I find the PIN code for the Bluetooth connection to the Myo Plus app?

Movements carried out by myoelectric prostheses are generated by muscle activity in the residual limb. Unlike a conventional two-channel control device, Myo Plus uses the individual muscle activity (known as movement patterns) that occurs in the residual forearm during different hand movements. Myo Plus learns these movement patterns through a recording process via an app. A certain prosthetic hand grip can be assigned to each learned pattern. The control device thus first learns from the user.

After an amputation, there is still a certain imagination of the hand - also called phantom hand. The movements that can be performed mentally are called phantom hand movements. These generate muscle signals in the forearm that are interpreted by Myo Plus. The better the phantom hand imagination, the more reliably the prosthesis can be controlled and the greater the choice of possible grip types.

Phantom hand imagination

The Myo Cuff and the Myo Plus App make it easy and flexible to evaluate and train. The Myo Cuff already includes all necessary components and can optionally be connected to a demo prosthesis to allow a realistic experience of different hand prosthesis types and their functionalities.

The terminal devices in the MyoBock system.

The full potential of Myo Plus unfolds in interaction with the bebionic hand. The control device is also suitable for all other analogue MyoBock terminal devices ‒ without the user needing to learn new commands. This means that an optimal solution can be adapted and applied to every activity.

MyoBock system

Myo Plus measures and interprets muscle activity in the existing forearm. For this, up to 8 electrodes are applied to the residual limb to measure the myoelectric signals, identify movement patterns and use them for prosthesis control.

Myo Plus hand prosthesis control

It enables daily use, configuration and visualizes the hidden movement patterns in the residual limb, thus acting as a "window into the prosthesis".

Myo Plus App

Myo Plus enables intuitive hand prosthesis control without complicated switching between grips. The body's own muscle signals are recognised by 8 electrodes and converted into myoelectric signals.

Myo Plus TR Myo accessories

The Myo Plus TR control unit uses machine learning to measure and interpret existing muscle activity in the residual limb. As a result, movement patterns are recognised and assigned to prosthesis movements.
