| New Castle, Pennsylvania -
Cora Outpatient Rehabilitation Center will host an EMG Biofeedback Informational
Seminar on May 20, 1999, in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania. Bernard S.
Brucker, Ph.D., will present his EMG biofeedback treatment method which is world-renowned
for improving the quality of life for thousands of individuals suffering from head trauma,
stroke, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, and other neurological conditions. Dr. Brucker, the Director of Biofeedback for the University of
Miami School of Medicine, is a psychologist who has dedicated his entire professional
career to improving the quality of life for people with physical disabilities. His
laboratory at the University of Miami / Jackson Memorial Medical Center can be reached at
(305) 585-6351.
Although not every person can benefit from EMG
Biofeedback, Dr. Brucker's program has been documented to help patients gain the ability
to sit independently, perform activities of daily living, and even walk. His training
technique, based on "operant conditioning," helps the brain
"reconnect" to the paralyzed area of the body.
Cora - New Castle, formerly Med/Aid, is home of the
Mid-Atlantic Center for the "Brucker Method." |

| Following Dr. Brucker's presentation, James
Schorey, president of Therapeutic Alliances Inc., will discuss the benefits of Functional
Electrical Stimulation (FES). FES is embodied in the ERGYS
Rehabilitation System which is available at the Cora - New Castle Outpatient Center.
The ERGYS allows patients with little or no voluntary lower body control to pedal a
stationary leg-cycle ergometer by way of electrical stimulus-induced contractions of the
quadriceps, hamstrings, and gluteal muscles of the legs. |
