Thanks, Fyzzio

Hello,

The version we are promoting on the kickstarter is primarily an engagement and training tool.
We are in the process of scientifically validating the data collection version. Early testing has been very promising, detecting imbalances due to previous injury and showing steady improvement over a six week testing period. The sample size so far has been limited but larger studies are being prepared. There are however numerous studies which strongly indicate regular training on a balance board can greatly reduce injury rates (usually ~75%)
The response we have received from early testing physiotherapists has shown that there is a real problem here, and we are seeking physiotherapists to work with for in clinic testing to help refine and improve the solution

Thanks
