This will involve you being filmed, but your confidentiality will be protected at all times. 
  • If you do receive product to test, it remains the property of The Biomechanics Lab. At times, you will be able to keep the product we provide you with. However, at other times, we will require you return the product back to The Biomechanics Lab so we can conduct further testing.
