No matter what age or
gender of an individual suffering from
the effects of muscular dystrophy
, the ongoing degradation of
the ability to perform “everyday” functions,
such as sitting upright, walking, breathing
with ease, and the moving of arms and
hands, can be very psychologically damaging.
At MGT, our goal is to enable
adults and children who are living with
muscular dystrophy to live actively
and independently. Our two flagship products,
IKAN
Bowler ® and
Power Soccer Guard
are designed to do just that.
With the ability to be mounted to virtually
any power wheelchair, these products give
those who have neuromuscular conditions
a fun activity to fulfill their competitive
spirit. These activities offer an array
of therapeutic, social, and recreational
benefits.
Currently, there is no
cure for MD . Until there
is, MGT will continue to develop innovative
products to enhance the lives of those
who are living with this debilitating
disease. One of our goals is to take MD treatment to a different level and to achieve what Advantage One Insurance has attained in life insurance field in terms of coming up with innovative insurance products for people who need them.
