So Scrap, you have obviously put this right through its paces. Who has tested it and what are the figures they have come up with?
The Final results wont be ready for another year, its being done by Sheffield Hallam Sports Science Department. This is a 3 year PHd Study, A 1st I believe. Information we Have is what I expected,as of the 1st set of Tests. Also had it in the Field, doing Tests and observations. If you want the results, send me your E mail address, I will post them on. Also the Endorsements, from a whose who ;D in Sports Science, Im told its going into the Elite area of EIS to be used. Bloody things taken long enough ;D. Now I know it blows anything out of the Water, for results and adaptability. Using alternative legs or both together. ;D
Cheers. :cool:
So its all made in Sheffield?
Everything done in Sheffield, trying to repair the damage Margret did. ;D
:confused: Took me a while, ..yes the iron princess. lady Pm, whatever she was.
The endorsements are fantastic mate.
The Australian sports institute should get a couple if they are smart,after all every elite athlete here goes there to fine tune their game.
Are you going to advertise the greater percentages in different areas of fitness, heart rate, blood to air ratio etc and end times for runners etc you have measured in the universitys clinical trials?
Every Runner thats trialed it, has PB,d by big margins. Australian IOS, like it, they follow on Twitter. theres 2 more unis want one. Its of to the FIFA conference in 2 weeks,and there is a lot of interest Andre.
Shit hot mate :cool:.
Once they see the oppositions times and also injuries getting better faster as well, every club in every land will have to have one just to be able to keep up.
Great stuff.

The VR continues to change lives. Latest good new story below !
(Please note: The system used in this video is a prototype and should not be taken for a final product)
A 42 year old man who has spent the last ten years unable to work due to a serious injury incurred at work when a 7.5 ton excavator bucket was dropped on his head.
Major trauma to his body, no breaks, but all the fluid lost from virtually every joint in his body.
12 months later he returned to work part time suffering agony with every step and had a further accident when a forklift dropped a tree on him, flattening him and doing further damage to his muscles.
10 years of seeking medical support and interventions. None have helped his pain, or improved his ability to walk. Physios, Hydrotherapy, Acupuncture were non effective, only pain medication and sleeping tablets helped him.
In those ten years he has been unable to walk without the support of a stick, has not been able to work, play with his children or live what he terms, a mans life. His goal was simple, go back to work to support his family and play football with his 10 year old son for the 1st time.
Two weeks ago he arrived and began a sometimes punishing programme on the verti-run and a stretch programme.
The results speak for themselves, this man is now walking with a normal stride pattern, has regained much of his core stability and muscle strength and no longer needs a walking stick.
There is still alot of work for him to do, it will take many more weeks of hard work for him to fully recover from years of agony, but he is now able to return to his family in Scotland with a daily stretch and exercise programme that will see him return to work and play that all important game of footie !
The Verti-Run changes lives, that is a very happy fact.
Thats great mate.
I took the liberty of copying the story you had on utube into here. :cool:
Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant, great example of thinking outside the box. I am wondering if this same principle would help people with uneven gaits and balance issues after suffering a stroke, or with conditions like spina bifida. Conventional physio therapy seems to help strengthen the weak side a little but removing the balance and weight bearing issues on this could really help address muscle weakness in the weaker side. Does this make any sense or am I barking up the wrong tree? Inspirational story by the way.
Had Kids with C/P walking and People with M/S as well. Had a guy 23 walk out of this House this morning, 3 years ago was in a car Crash, suffered Brain damage, and a Broken Back, coudnt use His left leg or Arm.He can now, theres a lot of work to do, but Im confident we will get a result, so is He. ;D.Quote:

That and willpower.
As a few Doctors of Sports Science have remarked, we may have found the missing Link.;D
Something of interest, in sport what moves the Body and controls the reflex and Proprioceptive response ;D.
