TABLE 2. Mean Difference from Baseline for Each Material, Each Location, All Subjects at 0 min.
The mean differences and standard deviations of plantar surface temperature immediately after walking for each material and location. Positive values indicate increased temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit. Materials tested included Bocklite (BOC), Pe-Lite (PEL), Plastazote (PLA), Poron (POR), Nylon-covered Poron (NPOR), Ortholite EVA (EVA), and a tri-laminate of Ortholite/Poron/Ortholite (TRI).
