Harmony's shoulder design mimics the glenohumeral joint and includes a scapular component to help facilitate scapulohumeral rhythm when exercising allowing for approximately 85 percent of the shoulder's natural range of motion.

Harmony SHR is a bilateral upper extremity exoskeleton with a biomechanically matched shoulder designed to allow a larger and more natural arm range of motion for patients recovering from neurological or musculoskeletal impairments. Harmonic Bionics announced the commercial launch of Harmony SHR last April followed by the first US installation at a top neurological hospital in Phoenix.

A high-profile dancer that suffered a spinal cord injury in an accident on stage two years ago was one of the first to use the Harmony SHR exoskeleton at CUHK Medical Centre, under the care of Professor Herman Lau, Director of Allied Health Services, and former Hospital Chief Executive of Shatin Hospital.

"The Harmony SHR exoskeleton is a highly unique robotic device that has been specifically designed for bilateral upper body rehabilitation purposes. The CUHK Medical Centre is proud to announce that it has recently acquired the first Harmony device in Hong Kong," said Professor Herman Lau. "Patients who have been using the Harmony system have shown remarkable motivation and enthusiasm, which has resulted in some promising outcomes in a relatively short period of time."

"This is a major milestone for our company as we work to expand our footprint and bring Harmony SHR to more providers and patients," said Harmonic Bionics CEO Mark Hunter. "There is tremendous opportunity for growth in Asia and this installation at CUHK Medical Centre is a great starting point to our intended success in the market."
