In each case, the courts confirmed that the MyoPro powered arm orthosis is an orthopedic aid that serves to directly compensate for disabilities.
Key Points:
- In each case, the courts confirmed that the MyoPro powered arm orthosis is an orthopedic aid that serves to directly compensate for disabilities.
- In a previous ruling a social court ruled in favor of a plaintiff against DAK, Germany’s third-largest statutory health insurer.
- We’re pleased that numerous social courts have confirmed the usefulness of the MyoPro for those with upper extremity impairment,” said John Frijters, Managing Director of Myomo Europe GmbH.
- It is our expectation that as a result of these rulings, many affected Germans will now experience easier access to this orthopedic aid."
