Loredan Biomedical, Inc.'s LIDO, a computerized physical therapy system, was purchased by NASA in 1985 for evaluation as a Space Station Freedom exercise program. In 1986, while involved in an ARC muscle conditioning project, Malcom Bond, Loredan's chairman, designed an advanced software package for NASA which became the basis for LIDOSOFT software used in the commercially available system. The system employs a proprioceptive" software program which perceives internal body conditions induces perturbations to muscular effort and evaluates the response. Biofeedback on a screen allows a patient to observe his own performance."
