Hocoma's innovative back pain therapy system powered by Movea's MotionPodsTM

Complete motion sensor solution provides rapid time to market for rehabilitation solutions

Grenoble, France, May 9, 2011 -- Hocoma, the leader in rehabilitation therapy solutions for movement disorders, has selected Movea’s MotionPod for its recently launched Valedo™Motion, a low back pain treatment product. The MotionPod, a wireless, miniaturised, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), enables a new breed of rehabilitation applications featuring a form of Functional Movement Therapy (FMT) that is both fun and interactive. Research shows that many back problems can be improved by FMT, but patient compliance has typically been a problem. Hocoma’s ValedoMotion solves this problem by making low back training entertaining and motivational.

Two of Movea’s MotionPods are placed on the patient’s back with adhesive pads while a third IMU acts as a reference. Using Movea’s SmartMotionTM technology, the IMUs wirelessly provide extremely accurate motion information to the ValedoMotion software running on a laptop. This data is used to guide the patient through the exercises that have been specially designed for low back pain treatment and does so by using a motivating, game-like environment where the patient controls what is happening on the screen with his or her movements.

Dr Hannu Luomajoki, Head of Continuing Education at the Institute of Physiotherapy, Zurich University, said, “Lack of compliance is a big problem in low back pain therapy. Our first clinical experiences showed that the therapy with Valedo Motion is fun and motivating. With the exercises, the patient easily forgets the time, which leads to a higher number of repetitions and an improved compliance.”

Dr Gery Colombo, CEO of Hocoma, explained, “The motions in the spine that we assess are of very small amplitude and, in order to be useful for the exercises, they have to be done very accurately. Movea’s MotionPods provide us with a perfect solution for Valedo as they are a complete, off the shelf solution including the sensors, receiver and tools to collect all the data we need, leaving us free to focus on our area of expertise of devising targeted exercises. This enabled us get our product to market very quickly, confident in the knowledge that we were using fully tested hardware.”

Sam Guilaumé, CEO of Movea, added, “We created the MotionPod precisely for applications such as Hocoma’s Valedo. It leverages all our experience of collecting and analysing motion data from MEMS sensors – based on a 3-axis accelerometer, a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis magnetometer. Application developers do not worry about raw sensor data treatment, we handle the complex task of turning the data into relevant motion information in a format that they can immediately use for their application.”

MotionPod

Movea’s MotionPod is a 9 Degrees-of-Freedom, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that incorporates a 3-axis accelerometer, a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis magnetometer in fully integrated package complete with software and wireless interface. Up to five MotionPods can be fitted to key parts of the body to form a Body Area Network (BAN) that enables detailed full body motion to be captured in real time with dynamic accuracy of one degree. More sensors are possible in the network, if required, by lowering the sampling rate from 200 Hz. These IMUs provide highly accurate movement information that is relayed via a 2.4GHz wireless link to a MotionController™ central receiver unit, which plugs into a computer via a USB port. The MotionPod measures 33x22x15mm (1.3”x0.8”x0.6”) and weighs 14g (0.5 oz). It is designed to clip onto a bracelet or strap for easy attachment to the body.

The MotionPods come with Movea’s SmartMotionTM Development Kit (SMDK) which provides a Windows-based API allowing application developers, systems integrators and OEMs to rapidly integrate and customize the use of wireless multi-sensors in their applications. It also includes a companion application, the MotionDevTool™ that has an intuitive graphical user interface for real-time visualization and integration.

ValedoMotion

The ValedoMotion is a medical back training device, which improves the patient’s compliance and motivation by specific real time Augmented Feedback based on trunk movements. It transfers trunk movements from two wireless sensors into a motivating game like environment and guides the patient through exercises specifically designed for low back pain therapy. To facilitate challenging and efficient training, the exercises can be adjusted according to the patient’s specific needs. The ValedoMotion is available together with the ValedoShape, an innovative non-invasive spine assessment device that enables computer assisted analysis and display of the spinal shape and mobility.


Hocoma is the leader in robotic rehabilitation therapy for neurological movement disorders and a globally active medical technology company based near Zurich, Switzerland. Hocoma develops innovative therapy solutions working closely with leading clinics and research centres.

Myths About Russian Brides to Be Refuted by Olga's Girlfriends Chief Romantic Officer

Greg Sarcona, Ph.D., Chief Romantic Officer of Olga’s Girlfriends, will refute 3 myths about Russian Brides at four seminars in May and June, 2011.

San Rafael, CA - May 08, 2011 -- Contact: Greg Sarcona, 415-244-1066

Greg Sarcona, Ph.D., Chief Romantic Officer of Olga’s Girlfriends, will refute 3 myths about Russian Brides at four seminars in May and June, 2011.

MYTH #1: Russian Women seeking American Men are “visa whores” whose only desire is to come to America and dump their hapless husbands once they obtain a green card.

MYTH #2: American men seeking Russian Brides are losers who can't get a date with an American woman.

MYTH #3: American bachelors travel to Russia for sex vacations, rather than seeking a woman to love and cherish.

“I have worked with countless sincere American Men and Russian women, who are searching for lasting love,” says Dr. Sarcona. “They are no different from the vast majority of singles, who seek romantic partners in their own country. My American clients have failed to meet that special woman through more conventional methods such as speed dating, singles parties, and online dating. They have discovered that they are much more likely to meet a superior woman if they search in the former Soviet Union.

“Russian women are fed up with their limited choices in Russia,” says Dr. Sarcona. Russian bachelors all too-often are chauvinistic alcoholics, who die early (life expectancy for Russian men is only 55). These women consider it to be a privilege to marry an American bachelor. They see American men as loving, respectful, and caring to their wives and children.”

Greg Sarcona will discuss “The 3 Myths About Russian Brides” and more at four seminars in the Silicon Valley:
1.Tuesday, May 10, 7pm, Corporate Inn Sunnyvale.
2.Tuesday, May 17, 7pm, Radisson Hotel San Francisco Airport Bay Front (Brisbane)
3.Tuesday, June 14, 7pm, Corporate Inn Sunnyvale
4.Tuesday, June 21, 7pm, Radisson Hotel San Francisco Airport Bay Front (Brisbane).

Dr. Sarcona will also reveal how to be more dateable to Russian women, how to be marriageable, how to navigate the sea of Russian bride agencies, and how to follow a step-by-step plan to go from thinking “It’s too good to be true to saying “I do!”, as well as fun tips such as learning the Cyrillic alphabet and how to pass the “drinking test” with your fiancee’s father. The cost is $10 at the door per seminar.

Dr. Sarcona is available to the news media by calling 415-244-1066. Anyone wishing more information about the seminars or Olga’s Girlfriends may call 1-877-OLGA-877 or visit http://www.olgasgirlfriends.com.

San Diego's own "PB Millionaire" played role of "Peacemaker" during Cold War

SAN DIEGO, CA, May 08, 2011 -- Not many people knew it at the time, but during the Reagan Administration, there were a few close-calls that could have caused an all out nuclear war between the then Soviet Union and the United States. On one occasion, in 1983, the Soviets mistook a NATO post exercise as the real thing, triggering a ready response that almost ended in all-out-war.

These events became public a few years later and caused some concern for people like Jim Lawlor, (see bio at: http://www.pbmillionairebio.com) who, at the time was living in Iowa, had recently graduated from college and was starting up a new business. Lawlor is known locally as the “PB Millionaire” - his character name on a new TV show now in production here in Pacific Beach.

In the late 1980’s, a new leader for the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, appeared on the scene and was breath of fresh air for some like Lawlor, who liked the new direction he was taking towards bettering relations between the two super powers. Lawlor was frustrated, however, by the way the US was dragging its heels in response to Gorbachev’s peace rhetoric. He felt the US needed to take advantage of the opportunity presented by Gorbachev. But Lawlor knew he had little political influence as a mere private citizen. So in December of 1988, Lawlor came up with an idea that would get the attention of political leaders. He decided to build what he later called “a super-sized Christmas card from one super power to another.” The idea took on a life of its own and suddenly Lawlor was making national headlines, appearing on all the major networks, The Today Show, CNN, and Fox News.


It later became known as the “peace card” and it was signed by hundreds of thousands of US citizens and even some important government officials. Lawlor convinced Iowa Governor Terry Branstad to sign the peace card, as well as Iowa Senators; Tom Harkin and Charles Grassley, and the entire Iowa delegation of the US Congress. Lawlor also persuaded other US senators, congressmen and state governors to sign the card, including then Governor Bill Clinton of Arkansas. He then took his giant peace card on tour across the US, collecting signatures along the way, ending up in New York City, where he was greeted by Mayor Ed Koch and a host of celebrities – including Yoko Ono and her son Sean Lennon. Lawlor finally took the card to Moscow and presented it to the Soviet people on Russian television. He was treated like a US diplomat while in Moscow, even though he was only there as a private citizen.

When the project was over, Lawlor went back to Iowa where he was regarded as a hero. Some even suggested that he be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for what he had accomplished.

Lawlor moved to San Diego in 1991, where he continued to build his business - manufacturing his invention of spray painting goggles. He went from living in his car to living in a castle here in Pacific Beach. He is now the star of a new reality show based on his new lifestyle as a self-made-millionaire. The “PB Reality Show” (http://www.pbreality.com), as it’s called, is scheduled to release next year.

HIV AIDS Biennial International Conference Ready For 2012


Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, May 06, 2011 -- The International Symposium of HIV and Emerging Infectious Diseases (ISHEID) Congress is announcing its HIV AIDS 2012 conference, to be held in Marseille, France from May 23 to May 25, 2012. This is an important conference -a "meeting of the minds" if you will- consisting of some of the top researchers and scientists in the field of HIV research and care. Abstracts will be shared, speeches will be made, and networking opportunities will be plentiful for everyone who attends. The congress believes that the information disseminated in this conference is vital information that will go a long way toward hopefully finding a cure for HIV and AIDS.

Through this AIDS 2012 conference, the congress aims to do three major things. First, it will allow HIV health care professionals to exchange ideas and experiences so the approach to caring for people with HIV can improve. Secondly, it provides an avenue for new HIV research findings to be shared, and hopefully improve the daily care of HIV patients. Finally, it wishes to reaffirm the global commitment toward reducing the overall toll that HIV puts on the world at large, both for the people who are stricken with the virus and those who are responsible for caring for them.

There are several main topics to be discussed at the AIDS 2012 conference. The pharmacogenomics will be covered, as well as the progress being made in the field of antiretroviral therapy. What happens during acute HIV infection, as well as the reservoirs of viral genetic material created in the process, will also be examined. The right for patients to have access to HIV care and the evaluation of that care is another hot topic on the itinerary for the conference. Furthermore, presentations will be made consisting of research about the prevention of HIV transmission and the never-ending search for a cure.

The world's top health care professionals will be in France during this three-day conference, meeting with colleagues, sharing research, and discussing what can be done to further the search for a cure for HIV and AIDS. The ISHEID Congress is welcoming those who wish to come. This International HIV AIDS 2012 conference is being held in beautiful Marseille, France, and the weather in late May should be quite attractive. Enjoy the scenery and ambience; however, keep in mind that some important information is ready to be discussed and absorbed. The researchers and scientists who work tirelessly on finding ways to attack HIV should be commended for their efforts, and their quest to find a cure should be admired and encouraged as well.

About the conference:
The Steering Committee contains Professor Jean-François Delfraissy (Director of the French Agency of AIDS Research, Paris, France), Jose Gatell (Barcelona, Spain), Guido Poli (Milano, Italy), Jean-Pierre Routy (Montreal, Canada), Christine Rouzioux (Paris, France), Vicente Soriano (Madrid, Spain), Hans-Jurgen Stellbrink (Hambourg, Germany) and Stefano Vella (Rome, Italy).

That’s the topic of the next Experts Connection (http://www.experts-connection.com) teleseminar, “Show Me the Money – Executive Compensation Negotiation in Today’s Marketplace,” where Barbara Safani, President of Career Solvers, will offer strategies to negotiate compensation. “The teleseminar is scheduled for Wednesday, May 25, from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. ET, (1:00 – 2:30 p.m. PT), and is sponsored by NETSHARE® (http://www.netshare.com).

Most people who have to negotiate a compensation package or raise are uncomfortable asking for what they believe they are worth. Often, people are afraid to ask for their true value because they don't want to appear too aggressive. However, Barbara notes that salary negotiation is an integral part of the career management process, and almost anything is negotiable. In this 90-minute teleseminar she will offer a different perspective on salary negotiation appropriate for the current economic climate. The presentation will include:

- How to change salary negotiation from a negative to a positive process.
- How to remain confident in negotiating your compensation package.
- Strategies to make salary negotiation more productive and more lucrative for you.
- Different items to negotiate as part of an overall employment package or raise.
- Techniques to increase your bargaining power during negotiation.
- How to use those same techniques to negotiate for a new job or a raise or promotion.

“When times are tough, executives tend to sabotage their careers by negotiating deals that are less than they are worth because of fear,” said Katherine Simmons, CEO of NETSHARE and host of the Experts Connection teleseminars. “You need to have the confidence to ask for what you are worth, especially when times are tough – the skills you bring to the table have real value to employers. With the tips and techniques Barbara offers in this teleseminar, any executive should be able to negotiate the salary they deserve.”

The Experts Connection teleseminar series gives executives access to leading career experts. The cost of the seminar is $60, $50 for NETSHARE members, and access is provided via web and telephone. For more information, visit the Experts Connection online at www.experts-connection.com.
