An athlete wanted to find the optimal running shoe that would maximize his running performance and reduce the risk of injury. He was interested in finding out how a shoe’s weight, structure and support affected his ability to achieve an optimal running style. To help him select the right running shoe, ViMove was used.

A 49 year old factory worker with long-standing low back pain was referred to a ViMove clinic for assessment and treatment. The worker’s low back pain had been managed and resolved with acupuncture in the past. The patient reported severe low back pain worse in the morning after prolonged rest. He also had trouble straightening up and experienced constant stiffness and pain.
