"The present financial results reflect the efficacy of our business plan and the strong abilities of our executive team," states Ergoresearch President and CEO, Sylvain Boucher. "Beyond solid growth in revenues and profits for this quarter, the launch of the OdrA Distraction−Rotation Orthotic Device on September 25 2012 remains the chief highlight in the first quarter. This new generation of orthotic device has the potential to revolutionize knee osteoarthritis treatment by relieving pain like no other treatment method other than knee replacement surgery. This innovation is patented and exclusively distributed across Canada by the Clinique du pied Équilibre and Orthoconcept laboratory networks, two subsidiaries of the Ergoresearch Ltd group," added Mr Boucher. "The healthcare sector is in full expansion and joint problems associated with an aging population present countless business opportunities. Ergoresearch is positioned to take advantage of just such opportunities," he concluded.
