Team Myotronic

Overview

48-hour intensive biomedical engineering design competition by MedXplore. Our team focused on addressing challenges encountered during post-operative rehabilitation for patients with muscle atrophy.

The goal of our idea was to reduce the return-to-life period for patients with post-operation muscle atrophy, specifically targetted at lower extremeties. Myotronic is an wearable exoskeleton concept that is intends to use a force-feedback control loop to accelerate the user's recovery timeline from a standard 12 months down to a shorter window.

Technical Details
