Rehabilitation robotics company Harmonic Bionics has announced its latest arms rehabilitating robotic wearable called the Harmony SHR Robotic Rehabilitation System. Harmonic Bionics CEO Christopher Prentice said: "Our team has worked so hard to reach this milestone, but we are especially grateful to the therapists and clinicians we have worked with to ensure our Harmony SHR system is an effective tool for providers and their patients."
The Harmony SHR Robotic Rehabilitation System is designed to rehabilitate a patient's scapulohumeral rhythm (SHR) to increase natural and comprehensive therapy for both arms. As an upper body exercise machine for rehabilitation, it may help treat upper body movement impairments, such as neurological injury, neuromuscular disease or disorder, musculoskeletal disease, post-procedure musculoskeletal rehabilitation, and upper limb prosthetic or transplant rehabilitation. The company has also registered the wearable with the FDA as a Class II 510(k)-exempt device. The Harmony SHR Robotic Rehabilitation System will be showcased at the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) Inspire 2023 Annual Conference on April 21 in Kansas City, Missouri.
