Motion DNA Completes BioTrainer Ahead of Schedule

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 16, 2004--Today, Motion DNA

Corp. announced the completion of a newly developed free motion tracking

technology. The BioTrainer was demonstrated to company executives by

Bodine, Motion DNA senior vice president of technology. The room

was filled with cheers and smiles from those in attendance, including

Motion DNA President Zig Ziegler.

Developed weeks ahead of schedule, the BioTrainer utilizes software

developed by Motion DNA for the InterSense IC-2 and IC-3 motion tracking

cubes. Unlike other current technologies, the BioTrainer does not

require clients to move within a magnetic field, making it the first of

its kind as the world's only true free motion tracking device for

physical therapy.

Designed as a biofeedback tool, the new BioTrainer will allow

physical therapists to conduct rehabilitation with fewer limiting

restrictions. The therapist can provide less direct supervision to the

patient, with the assurance that exercises are being conducted

correctly. The new technology allows patients to self-correct inaccurate

movements, as a tone rings from the BioTrainer when the exercise is

performed to the correct specifications set by the therapist.

Said Ziegler, " This technology is essential to physical therapists and

their patients. With the BioTrainer, therapists can make certain

that the exercises are being performed by the patient in the correct

manner, every time. "

Ziegler also stated, " In a typical therapy session, patients conduct

many of their exercises under partial supervision. The BioTrainer

will act as an additional employee for a fraction of the cost. The

BioTrainer immediately lets the patient and therapist know if the

exercise is being performed correctly and efficiently. "

Through the end of the second quarter, use of the BioTrainer is only

available from Motion DNA as a service. Beginning next week,

approximately 10,000 units will be available for sale and delivery in

the third quarter of 2004. Motion DNA will also continue to use its

current technology, the Polhemus Fastrak and Liberty, offering full

diagnostic assessments for sports and fitness.

The BioTrainer will be demonstrated at next week's International

Health, Racquet and Sports Club Association annual convention and trade

show in Las Vegas. More than 10,000 health club owners, physical

therapists, athletic trainers, and medical professionals are expected to

visit the trade show at the annual convention, seeking the latest tools

available for health and fitness.

Motion DNA Corp. provides diagnostic testing for medical professionals

and sports organizations. The company's patented software and hardware

systems have been used globally by some of the world's leading health

care practitioners, biomechanical research institutions and professional

sports agencies. Motion DNA's biomechanical analyses and detailed

reports provide its customers and consumers with solutions for

preventing injuries, identifying physical limitations, diagnosing

pre-existing injuries related to biomechanics, and improving physical

performance levels.
