| Williamsburg, Virginia -Today Therapeutic Alliances Inc.
(TAI) of Fairborn, Ohio USA introduced the new ERGYS 2 Rehabilitation System. The ERGYS 2,
a leg cycle ergometer featuring TAI's proprietary functional electrical stimulation (FES)
technology, builds on twelve years of experience with the REGYS and ERGYS 1 Rehabilitation
Systems which are in use in more than 500 clinics and homes worldwide.
The ERGYS 2 is designed to maintain and improve the health of individuals with spinal
cord injury, as well as those suffering from multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, or
stroke. The clinician can choose from a number of workload regimes and biphasic stimulus
waveforms to tailor the ERGYS 2 to a patients specific therapeutic needs. According to TAI
president Mr. James Schorey, "TAI's rallying cry 'The Power of Your Muscles', is more
inclusive than ever with the ERGYS 2."

Therapeutic Alliances continues to offer full support for the REGYS and ERGYS 1
Rehabilitation Systems. "In fact," says Schorey, "the ERGYS 1 can be easily upgraded to include the powerful new features of the ERGYS 2." Along
with the ERGYS 2, TAI offers a full line of rehabilitation products, including the SpectraSTIM 2000 muscle stimulator and the NeuroEDUCATOR II electromyography
(EMG) processor. All in all, the ERGYS 2 is a major step forward
in the field of functional electrical stimulation. The ERGYS 2
will greatly increase the number of potential users of therapy
aimed at recovering lost muscle function as well as therapy aimed
at maintaining a patient's health.
