Bionic is a game designed to provide engaging training for patients using neuromuscular prosthetics. It uses music-based games that provide challenge and feedback to improve patients' control of their prosthesis while maintaining higher engagement compared to standard EMG training. Clinical studies have found Bionic leads to clinically validated improvements in prosthesis control when used as an addition to traditional clinical training methods.
