For Therapists
With a bio mechanically matched shoulder design and the ability to facilitate bilateral training, Harmony SHR may improve the efficiency and effectiveness of upper body rehabilitation.

How it Works
The entire Harmony SHR System is fully contained in one unit and operated by a pendant attached to the device. It sits on three lockable casters for easy transportation through doorways, on and off elevators, and room to room.
What sets Harmony SHR apart?
Quick Set-Up Time
With Harmony SHR’s motorized sizing, providers can easily and quickly adjust each segment with the touch of a button. The quick-connect patient attachments were designed for easy donning and doffing with a clip-in mechanism similar to how you would secure a camera to a tripod stand.
Large Shoulder ROM
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.
Dynamic Modes
There are a variety of ways to incorporate Harmony SHR into therapy sessions for patients at all different levels of impairment. The system can facilitate active or active-assisted range of motion as well as a mirror mode with Harmony’s novel Bilateral Sync Mode.
Supporting Literature
How can robotics improve your practice and outcomes for your patients?
Studies Show:
- The number of movements performed during robot-assisted therapy sessions is far higher than the number performed during conventional therapy.¹
- The intensity (high-dose, high-quality) of the therapy provided has a direct correlation to the outcomes achieved.²
We know that more repetitions equals better outcomes, but your time is limited during therapy sessions. The literature shows a tool like Harmony SHR may help you get more movement in for your patients.
Robotic-Assisted Mirror Therapy
For those with hemiparesis recovering from stroke, Harmony SHR offers a truly unique way to help return function by mirroring the patient’s healthy arm movements onto the affected side in real time.
Compared to conventional therapy, evidence shows that robotic-assisted mirror therapy can accelerate the recovery curve for subacute stroke patients and help maintain gains even after intervention.³
