BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Myomo, Inc., (NYSE American: MYO) (“Myomo” or the “Company”), a wearable medical robotics company that offers increased functionality for those suffering from neurological disorders and upper-limb paralysis, provides an update on the status of its joint venture (“JV”) in China and the associated impact on first quarter 2022 revenue. As of March 31, 2022, a portion of the technology license fee from the JV Company, Jiangxi Myomo Medical Assistive Appliance Co. Ltd., has been paid. The Company received $1.0 million of the total $2.7 million license fee during March, which will be accounted for as revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
