| Popis: | The effect of one years general use on the performance of four shock attentuating insoles is reported. Testing was carried out using the JP Biomechanics Shock Meter on twelve volunteers on a timed oval course at eight intervals during the year. The results show that two of the insoles perform well (Viscolas and PPT) although deterioration does occur after 6-9 months use; the other two insoles (Plastazote and Gait Aid) perform poorly. It is suggested that manufacturers provide some information to the user or supplier regarding the effective life of their products. |
