Featured case study:
MyoStep
MyoStep is a soft wearable exoskeleton designed for children aged 4 to 12 with cerebral palsy. Moving beyond rigid traditional aids, MyoStep is a flexible, textile-based suit engineered to support natural movement and foster independence.
The design team was led by polymotions founder, Jess Russi, as part of an interdisciplinary collaboration at the Brain Machine Interfacing Lab. By working hand-in-hand with engineers, clinicians, and researchers, we took cutting-edge research, led by Dr. Jose Luis Contreras-Vidal, and shaped it into a user-centric system focused on both superior gait support and unparalleled comfort. With invaluable guidance from design faculty Jeff Feng, MFA, and Elham Morshedzadeh, Ph.D., we prototyped and refined MyoStep for its future in clinical settings.
Our multidisciplinary approach is essential for regulated industries like med-tech, where our core expertise lies at the intersection of technical fluency, human factors, and specialized design, ensuring your complex ideas are validated and communicated effectively in clinical settings, boardrooms, and competitive markets.
