A team of researchers from the iDAPT labs at Toronto Rehabilitation Institute-University Health Network are dedicated to keeping Canadians safer this winter by offering evidence-based ratings on footwear that may reduce the risk of slips and falls on ice. The team has developed the first test of its kind in the world — the Maximum Achievable Angle Testing Method — to validate slip resistant footwear on icy surfaces using real people in a simulated winter environment.
