As of 1/1/2006 The MIT Active Joint Brace group was closed. All
people, IP, technology and research activities have been moved to myomo Inc. This website exists for
reference and historical purposes. It is otherwise unmaintained.
Our research group aims to create a wearable, affordable, unencumbering exoskeleton
that augments human physical capability by working in parallel with
existing musculature. Our technology provides a lightweight, wearable,
non-invasive, and cost effective solution to allow people that have
suffered from neurological trauma to regain strength, rehabilitate,
and achieve increased independence.
Our group was founded in the Spring of 2002 by Professor Woodie Flowers, John McBean, and Kailas Narendran.
