Encore Path in the running for Forbes Prize

Encore Path, partners of Anatomical Concepts in the USA have been chosen as a semi-finalist in the Forbes “Boost Your Business” competition. The winner of the competition gets national media exposure enabling tens of thousands of stroke survivors to learn about a device that could change their lives.

Kris Appel, Founder of Encore Path in the USA, designed and manufactured the Tailwind product which is represented in the UK by Anatomical Concepts.

Kris writes "I started Encore Path after a 17-year career in the intelligence community because I wanted to create something. I wanted to build something of value from scratch. I learned that the University of Maryland medical school was doing groundbreaking research into stroke rehabilitation, and discovering new ways to improve the lives of stroke survivors with severe paralysis. It seemed like something that needed to be done, so I licensed the technology and built the company's first product, the Tailwind, which improves arm function and range of motion in stroke survivors with paralysis"

We are proud to represent this innovative company in the UK.
