To whom it may concern,
I have been involved with the Backlife project for the past two years. I was responsible for the very first feasibility assessment study of Backlife with patients suffering from low back pain. These patients were referred to the Backlife treatment from the Unit for Surgery of the Spine at Meir hospital, Kfar-Saba, Israel. I was excited by the response of the majority of patients after using the device.
The results of the study are promising. More than 75% of patients were satisfied with the device and their responses indicated that Backlife had significantly helped them with their lower back pain.
The Backlife device functions as a CPM (continues passive movement ) apparatus and incorporates proven therapy techniques used by experts. This unique treatment regimen is currently available only in professional clinics, and has never before been presented for home use. Backlife is a user- friendly device, allowing treatment without professional supervision.
In addition to the initial study, we are planning to start a Multi Center Study in three leading medical centers, in the very near future. We are very encouraged with the pilot study results.
Over the past10 years our department has successfully treated more then 100,000 patients with back pain. I will actively encourage my patients to purchase and use Backlife once it is available as a consumer product.
Once the product becomes available, I will be happy to endorse Backlife, along with the findings of the studies, at International professional conferences. |
