We are building Myotact, a venture developing a myoelectric sensory biofeedback device to help amputees develop healthy stumps and maximise the benefits of new generation prostheses.
Are you the driven entrepreneur who can build and lead this venture as the CEO?
The Invention
Rehabilitation for amputees can be a lengthy and traumatic experience. Modern ‘smart’ prostheses are very high tech and responsive but require extensive training to use.
Physiotherapists and rehabilitation therapists can use this tool to help patients “feel” their stump via sensory feedback, improving stump formation, shortening the time it takes to fit a prosthetic limb and make the most out of new generation prostheses.
The device can also be effective in reducing phantom pain – a notoriously difficult condition to treat.
