Myo provides a modular add‑on that converts a standard wheelchair into a home‑based rehabilitation platform. The device replaces the footrest, enabling users to perform guided physiotherapist‑approved stretching and strengthening exercises with adaptive resistance, while a companion app automatically logs repetitions and tracks progress against personal goals. This integration allows daily, independent rehab without clinic visits or bulky equipment, supporting users in maintaining independence at their own pace.

Problem
People who use wheelchairs often need regular physiotherapy exercises to maintain or regain mobility, but accessing clinic-based rehabilitation is time‑consuming, requires transfers, and may not fit into daily routines.
Solution
Myo converts a standard wheelchair footrest into an integrated rehabilitation device, allowing users to perform physiotherapist‑prescribed stretching and strengthening exercises at home. The hardware attaches directly to the existing wheelchair without the need for transfers or additional bulky equipment. An accompanying mobile app guides each session, automatically counts repetitions, and logs performance against personalized goals. By providing real‑time feedback and progress tracking, Myo enables users to conduct daily, measurable rehabilitation at their own pace, supporting a gradual return to independence.
Target Audience
Primary users are wheelchair‑bound individuals seeking at‑home rehabilitation, as well as clinicians and rehabilitation centers looking to extend therapy beyond the clinic.
