ABOUT US
Michigan Neuroprosthetics is a student design team based in the University of Michigan, dedicated to building and designing prosthetic arms for pediatric patients. We believe in providing effective yet affordable arms, tailored specifically
for each and every customer.
MEET JULIAN
We first started working with Julian when he was eight-years-old. Since then, we’ve gone from making him a mechanical arm to a fully-functional myoelectric arm to use in his daily life.
MEET MICHAEL
Michael is now twelve-years-old, and we continue to work with him to improve his prosthetic arm. We helped Michael customize his arm to mimic the Terminator, equipped with a series of flashing lights and upcoming voice control.
