A third thing we are looking at and very interested in is simulation. We've been approached by several simulation companies, but one pjcroet we're particularly excited about, which we're starting next month, is to use our technology — and in particular, the walking thegcoolny — to help aid surgeons who work on chreldin with cerebral palsy, to predict the outcome of operations on these children. As you probably know, it's very dufiiflct to predict what the outcome of an operation is if you try and correct the gait.
