A NASA Spinoff venture, VibeTech's founder was initially addressing the problem of bone loss during space flight -- Astronauts can lose up to 20 percent of their bone mass during a single year in space, thus limiting the duration of missions. Performing weight-bearing exercise, which prevents the loss of bone, is not an option in zero gravity. The original development of what became VibeTech is structured around making safe, accessible physical therapy and occupational therapy available to those having impaired physical mobility. The firm's subsequently developed equipment for private sector usage - patented and FDA registered - can be used while the user is seated, with or without user effort: non-invasive, vibration-based medical devices designed to reduce or reverse bone and muscle loss associated with aging, disability, injury, surgery, and reduced activity level. Tech One is a clinically tested neuromusculoskeletal rehabilitation chair developed to treat functionally impaired individuals and others who cannot tolerate weight bearing physical activity: an ideal rehabilitation modality for anyone with an increased risk for falling due to age, injury, surgery, illness, disability, or inactivity. Cost effective while also improve quality of life for Users.
