Foot sole sites ranked by perceptual threshold (A) and mechanical properties (B). For each subject, a rank of 1 was given to the site with the lowest, and a rank of 5 to the site with the highest perceptual threshold or mechanical property measurement. Ranks were averaged across subejects for each foot sole site. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean. L, M, H and G denotes a significantly lower ranking of that site than the LatArch, 5th Met, Heel, and GT, respectively (P < 0.05).
