A small team of researchers including Mr Dawe have won first prize for their research presentation at the 2018 British Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Meeting. The research used a zero-gravity treadmill (a treadmill which blows air at your legs and can simulate you weighing less, all the way to being completely weight-less) in order to demonstrate the benefits of weight-loss in foot and arthritis. Patients in the study found a reduction of around 40% of their pain during the test. This has provided further evidence of the benefits of weight loss in improving foot and ankle pain.
