About this app: What’s new: We have made further improvements to the user-friendliness of the app based on feedback from our users: The app has a new design and bug fixes will improve the stability of the application. The optional Myo Connect function records activity data for your prosthesis and presents it clearly for you in the Myo Plus app. This means that you can independently access up-to-date information about how you are using your prosthesis. In addition, you can share prosthesis data with the relevant qualified personnel. Once you have given your consent, they will receive information about the current state of the prosthesis, system settings and usage data in order to give you the best possible remote support in the event of problems. General: You can use the Myo Plus app from Ottobock to configure the Myo Plus prosthesis control and adapt it to changing requirements at any time. For this purpose, the Myo Plus app connects to the Myo Plus TR installed in the prosthesis or to the Myo cuff. Key app functions include: As qualified personnel: evaluate movement patterns and create a basic set. As a user: record individual movement patterns and adapt the prosthesis control to your everyday situations. Fine-tune parameters and switch functions on or off.
