One out of six people in the U.S. will suffer a stroke, the leading cause of disability in the United States. To date, rehabilitation protocols and technology have done very little to help patients gain the use of limbs post stroke. Mirrored Motion Works has developed technology that demonstrates a revolutionary capability for patients to gain significantly better health outcomes.These patients One out of six people in the U.S. will suffer a stroke and must deal with asymmetric limb weakness. Demographics suggest a continuation of this trend at the very least. In summary: • Someone in United States has a stroke every 40 seconds • Stroke is the leading cause of disability in the U.S. • Currently there are 800,000 new strokes per year • There are 6.5 million stroke survivors • Approximately 80% have persistent upper limb paralysisMMW has launched its first product, the Bi-Manual arm Trainer (BAT) is launching a series of patented devices to achieve effective rehabilitation of limbs impacted by stroke; the benefits of the technology also apply to other causes of asymmetric weakness such as cerebral palsy and Parkinson's disease. The underlying science reflects the discovery that healthy limbs and the healthy side of the brain can retrain the damaged side of the brain and damaged limbs. MMW's target markets are 1) inpatient hospital rehabilitation centers, 2) hospital outpatient rehabilitation centers and 3) skilled nursing facilities. For continuity of care, patients should begin the rehabilitation process after leaving the ICU and entering in patient debilitation and continue through each stage of rehabilitation.We believe that Mirrored Motion Works has several unique and strong competitive advantages: • Breakthrough capabilities that previously have not been achievable • Our devices cover the upper limbs from shoulder to the fingers • The use of gaming software focuses attention and provides motivation
