  1. Hey Stu. Sorry 'bout the delay. I hate when real life gets in the way of forum time.

    Cue link to the "are you addicted" thread;)
    Agreed.
    The most interesting thing (to me) that you said was:-
    Hmmm. The wear in time is a consideration, more so for a device like this which can take a bit more getting used to.

    But Surely the break in time should be the same, regardless of what they had in their shoe before the device! I don't feel this explains the difference in performance between the Cushion - Mass group and the Mass - cushion group. How would having worn a thin foam cushion increase the wear in time?

    For me the most likely cause is something along the lines of the "nocibo" effect which Dr Trotter describes. I'd be interested in your thoughts on that.
    Hmmm. That IS an interesting finding. Is it because this is the first study to LOOK for it or have others looked and not found it to be the case.

    With respect
