The Fortis simulator won the Grand Prize at the 2006 INPEX, the Invention and New Product Exposition, the largest invention convention in the United States, in recognition of excellence in the category of therapeutic inventions. The simulator's benefits in therapy were proven in a study conducted by a team of researchers at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea.

The study focused on the use of multi-sensory stimulation in developing a range of physical skills in children. The experience that the simulator delivers through the use of advanced technology proved highly motivational for children as it allowed them to experience the joy and excitement of horseback riding. The therapy itself improved their exercise function, muscle activity and thickness, and spine alignment. The Fortis simulator enabled them to exercise for a longer period of time without feeling tired or bored, which is a common problem that therapists and patients face in traditional rehabilitation programs.
