Peer-Reviewed Research and Surveys Prove that Shoe Orthotics Benefit Golfers.

In a study of experienced golfers that was published in the peer-reviewed "Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics" (JMPT) in 2001, Foot Levelers' Spinal Pelvic stabilizers were proven to have a positive influence on stride length, pelvic rotation, components of gait, and symmetry of gait movements. They were also proven to reduce the effects of fatigue. It was noted that the most players have poor balance and consequently less consistency in contacting the ball.

 

After wearing the Stabilizers for the six-week period, test subjects demonstrated a 29-36% average increase in pelvic rotation, with similar changes in stride length. The stabilizers also reduced the effects of fatigue. Foot levelers' Stabilizers increased the club head speed by 3-5 mph (9 - 15 yards of increased distance). Balance and proprioceptive balance improved with the use of Foot Levelers' Stabilizers.

Comfort:
    When asked, "how long did it take to get used to wearing your stabilizers?"
     87% of respondents indicated three days or less.
     100% had adjusted to them by the end of the 5th day.

Effectiveness:
     71% felt that their balance was improved while wearing Parflex plus.
     50% felt that they were hitting the ball more consistently.
     29% thought they hit the ball further.
     38% overall reported shooting a lower golf score with Parflex in their  shoes.

Finally, after wearing Parflex plus for 5 weeks, the golfers in this survey were asked if they would recommend these stabilizers to a fellow golfer. The answer was a unanimous "yes" from the professional, and a 96% positive response overall.
