1. Financial interests

Yes

Please specify

I assisted the founder of Pragnetics Pty Ltd, (https://www.pragnetics.com.au/?srsltid=AfmBOorVueuFD7LYR2nHpfSMQs79jsNbsZQQnlNTw6dp89bmSctBSnQu) Alex Roberts, to conduct a pilot trial of his product (magnetic walking aid attachments). The trial was published (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38019042/) and Alex's conflict of interest was declared in the publication. Alex subsequently gave me a personal gift valued at around $100 ($50 voucher and a duffle bag). I received no other payment, was never employed by Alex or Pragnetics, and have never promoted this product in any form.
