A
Message from Joe Schrader, Founder of Hartford Walking Systems
I would like to take a minute to thank all of the HWS team, including my
family and close friends for their support, dedication and talent. And of
course, our amazing clients and their feedback have been an integral part of the
evolution of the LegSim over the last sixteen years.
Who would've thought that a device that began as a way for me to be mobile
after a fractured knee would have grown into something that helps people regain
their independence! I am truly humbled to know that our company can help
individuals increase their mobility. To watch someone get out of their
wheelchair and be at eye-level again is truly inspiring. It's also comforting to
know that the LegSim can enable our clients to quickly become mobile in case of
an emergency.
I have had the distinct pleasure to work with some of our brave men and women
at places such
as Walter Reed Medical Center. LegSim systems have evolved over
the last few years largely because of the input from these young heroes and
their doctors and therapists. Our systems are now even easier to adjust.
Stronger and improved foot stabilizers allow us to help clients with severe
lateral forward and aft balance issues, and our Pete LegSim may be used by
individuals missing a hand and leg.
As always, the benefits of the LegSim are still the same. Our device provides
a viable alternative to hopping which will likely minimize wear and tear on the
sound side joints. They are a perfect
complement to one's prosthesis -- helping individuals after surgery as well as
during times when they need quick mobility, such as in an emergency or in the
middle of the night.
I am also proud to announce that we have a new Director of Medicine, John A.
Tata, MD. You can learn more about him by clicking on the
Physician Portal link.
Dr. Tata and I will be at the
ACA Conference in Atlanta from June 18-20.
Please stop by our booth, we would love to speak with you! Additionally, there
will be some new developments, along with our "conference pricing" which only
happens once a year. We hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
Joseph Schrader
Founder/CEO, HWS
