Advanced Arm Dynamics Creates All-New "Reverb Arm" with Amplified MP3 Playing Capability

`Monster Garage` Meets the Prosthetic Industry

REDONDO BEACH, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Advanced Arm Dynamics (AAD), the nation`s leading provider of upper extremity
prosthetic rehabilitation services, announced the creation of the all-new
"Reverb Arm," an activity-specific prosthetic arm that has MP3 playing
capability with amplified sound quality.

"The "Reverb Arm" is all about the cool factor for upper extremity amputees,"
said Chris Lake, southwest clinical director of Advanced Arm Dynamics. "This is
`Monster Garage` meets the prosthetic industry. Just about any upper extremity
amputee that would want the Reverb Arm, could have it. Our ability to look at
other aspects of our patients` lives enables our team to try new things and
create what works best for our patients. The Reverb Arm would be useful to
active upper extremity patients who like to work out." For video and photos of
the development of the Reverb Arm, see Advanced Arm Dynamics (AAD).

Bernie Diamond, a patient of Advanced Arm Dynamics of the Southwest was able to
put the Reverb Arm to real world use on a recent ski trip with other amputees.

"This is so cool. The sound quality was crystal clear and the device itself was
light and small, not bulky at all. I was able to hold onto the ski poles and
still enjoy listening to my iPod," said Mr. Diamond. "The sound was so loud, it
could be heard up to seventy yards away."

The development approach included trying to optimize the speaker placement so
that the sound could echo through the socket providing depth to the bass.

"We were able to maximize the acoustic quality within the sound and power the
MP3 player utilizing the prosthetic battery," commented Mr. Lake. "Each day we
challenge ourselves, to push a little bit farther, to find the most creative
solutions for our patients."

"I get so many comments about my arm from people…how cool it looks. I`ve got my
own stereo arm," said Mr. Diamond.
