The NASA Spinoff Story

Disuse atrophy and biomechanics expert Jeff Leismer, PhD (Founder and CEO of VibeTech, Inc., a NASA Spinoff venture) initially aimed to solve 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.

While working on a solution, Dr. Leismer discovered that properly tuned and delivered vibration to the lower extremity muscles activated a natural stretch reflex. With just a 10-minute application, his invention could completely fatigue leg muscles without any physical exertion on the part of a user.

He later realized that vibration could be used to help people who cannot tolerate traditional weight-bearing physical exercise. Now, VibeTech, Inc., a NASA Spinoff company funded in part by National Institute of Health and NASA, is revolutionizing the field of rehabilitation with its patented, clinically-tested neuromusculoskeletal stimulation equipment designed to help people regain their strength and independence, regardless of their degree of immobility.

I believe the VibeTech One will become the new gold standard for treatment of numerous maladies and problems with atrophy of the lower extremities. I will suggest widespread deployment of it in hospitals, skilled nursing homes, physical therapy and rehab facilities. I believe that VibeTech has a very promising future.

…there is a need for equipment that can be used in a seated position due to increasing use among people with serious strength, flexibility, mobility and functional limitations. The equipment [VibeTech] has developed meets the needs of these patients, while no other products appear to serve this population very well.

There have been many positive articles supporting what the team at VibeTech has developed through years of research… VibeTech truly has a unique product, and I am enthusiastic about using it in an effort to improve outcomes for our patients.
