Myomo Announces Free Screening Days in Over 20 Cities Nationwide

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Myomo, Inc. (NYSE American: MYO) (“Myomo” or the “Company”), a commercial stage medical robotics company, announces a nationwide program of free screening days to be held in collaboration with its Centers of Excellence, other orthotics and prosthetics practices and its rehabilitation therapy partners.

Myomo and its partners will offer potential users a convenient chance to be evaluated by clinical specialists and to examine a MyoPro powered brace for themselves to determine if MyoPro might help them overcome upper-limb paralysis caused by stroke, brachial plexus injury or other neuromuscular disease or injury.

During May, free open screening clinics are planned for Boston; Hartford, Conn.; New York City; Livonia, Madison Heights, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Grand Blanc and Detroit, Mich.; Chicago; Milwaukee; Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio; Salt Lake City; and San Francisco. Screenings at additional locations are planned for June.

Exact dates and locations, more information and no-cost, no obligation registration may be found at www.myomo.com/screening.

This nationwide rollout of the screening program follows a successful pilot screening program at Geauga Rehabilitation Engineering (GRE), a Myomo Center of Excellence partner, during the first quarter of 2018 in Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Detroit.

“Many individuals with a paralyzed arm and hand after a stroke or injury are told they’ll never use that limb again for the rest of their lives,” said Cliff Conneighton, Myomo’s Chief Marketing Officer. “With our MyoPro powered arm brace, many are able to regain movement and restore functional ability so they can return to work, feed themselves, and perform daily living tasks. We are launching this screening campaign to educate and assist more individuals, families, physicians and therapists about the benefit of the MyoPro myoelectric orthosis.”

Most commercial healthcare plans, multiple Medicaid plans, workers’ compensation and Medicare Advantage plans have covered the device based on medical necessity and the potential to reduce healthcare costs. Eligible veterans may receive a MyoPro through their local VA Medical Center.
