Placebo Pedometers Prove Problematic

"These things don't work until you get off your ass and sometimes they don't work even if you do"

The Harpoville Post reports that Pedometers, or step counters, used in a recent Canadian health study proved ineffective in providing accurate medical information. The study group gave 1000 cheaper or less expensive Pedometers and even placebo Pedometers to willing participants and the data received from the devices was not good.

The Harpoville Post has learned that doctors have concluded that placebo Pedometers do not work so it was a waste of time even handing these things out. Of the inexpensive or cheaper Pedometers the doctors came away with inaccurate data. The Harpoville Post spoke to Dr. P. Ennis who told us, "The 1000 willing study participants were given some good and some not so good Pedometers to measure how much they walked in a day. When the study concluded the data was analyzed and we came to the conclusion that weather you get a cheap or placebo device or you get a very expensive Pedometer they're inefficiency to work is equal to the inefficiency of the participant to get off they're ass and walk out the door."
