Back from Denver

July 2, 2007 · Posted in Shoulder Rehab, Software, The Rotater

After a grueling, but productive week, I (soupornuts – aka Chris Melton) am back! As I’ve mentioned or alluded to a number of times in my blog postings, I am an entrepreneur and am involved in several business ventures. This past week took me to Denver and the national convention (or conference) of the American Physical Therapists Association.

My business partner (Scott Kay) and I were at the conference to introduce and promote our new shoulder rehabilitation device, the Rotater. Everyone at the show was great. We were welcomed and made to feel at ease with both the other exhibitors and the conference attendees. The Rotater was also a big hit!

While at the show, I met some great people, who have great products and provided us with invaluable information:

David Baruch – The CEO of ISO-DIAGNOSTICS SOFTWARE LLC – (muscular and range of motion testing software)

David was positioned right next to us at the conference and was a tremendous source of insight and help. His product, a software package, provides the means to:

create meaningful and accurate reports across a number of key areas
can be used to record a patient’s progress
can be used with a number of different measuring devices

Go to ISO Software for more information.

Brice York – The developer of the TriTask

Brice’s product is a measuring device that provides immediate feedback, allowing the tester to know exactly how much force is required to perform a specific task. This information not only gives the tester the initial workload forces required to perform the task in question, but also provides the basis for the accumulated workload placed on a worker performing a repetitive task over time.

This is a great product for anyone who wishes to determine or improve the ergonomics of a measurable task. How much force is really required to lift that box? If you really need to know, then the TriTask may be the tool for you.

Everyone at the show really made us feel at ease and welcome. Thanks to everyone.
