Christopher Reeve (1952-2004)
I was introduced to Mr. Reeve in 1995 to design a Wearable Therapy Muscle Stimulation System to restore his prevent the all-to-familiar muscle atrophy that accompanies spinal cord injury as well as help maintain his health. It was a privilege to work with him and to have a role in the management of his healthcare.
We employ Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) technology to better the lives of our clients who are neurologically impaired. That is just one component of the rehabilitation process. I credit the human spirit, however, as central to pushing forward when the odds are not in our favor. Mr. Reeve, like so many people I know with disabilities, found hope in living in spite of his physical challenges. He was not afraid to step into the unknown and show us that anyone with a strong sense of vision and desire for change can exceed expectations and set new standards for others to follow.
We sincerely regret the loss of a great partner who challenged contemporary medical standards and who sought and shaped new paradigms for emerging technologies and medicine.
