B-TEMIA Announces A Medical Breakthrough For Individuals With Limited Walking Endurance

Wednesday, May 14th, 2014

A while back, we wrote about a company called B-TEMIA, who received funding from Revision Eyewear to develop a dermoskeleton mechanism to assist soldiers suffering from musculoskeletal injuries. Recently, B-TEMIA has announced Keeogo, a commercial motorized walking assistive device that was likely developed from that same technology.

Quebec, May 13, 2014 – B-TEMIA Inc. announces today the first public unveiling of Keeogo™ at the Canadian Seating Mobility & More Conference in Toronto.

Man-Walking1

Keeogo™ is a motorized walking assistive device worn on the lower body that provides individuals with the leg power they need to walk more, better and keep on going throughout their day. Keeogo™ is designed for individuals who have limited walking endurance or mobility issues resulting of muscle weakness, aging in general or due to a number of medical conditions including Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease or a cardiovascular condition such as peripheral artery diseases.

“Regaining autonomy in mobility is so critical to an individual’s health and well being. We are excited to unveil Keeogo™ and look forward to helping many Canadians.” comments Mr. Stéphane Bédard, President and CEO of B-TEMIA.

Keeogo™ is being demonstrated this week at booth 103 at the Canadian Seating Mobility & More Conference in Toronto.

Do You Even Airborne, Bro? Stickers

Tuesday, May 13th, 2014

I am a big fan of the ‘Do You Even Airborne, Bro?’ Facebook Page. They’ve just introduced their first morale items which are three cool stickers. They’re so cool, even legs will love them. Even better, 10% of the proceeds from the stickers are going to benefit Stop Soldier Suicide, a national civilian not-for-profit organization dedicated to preventing active and Veteran suicide.

DYEAB

Currently, there are three different stickers available: ‘Sky Shark’, ‘Paratroopers Don’t Die, They Just Slip Away’ and their classic logo.
