Table 4.

Plantar pressure differences between insoles (p < 0.05). MP = mean pressure (kPa); PP = peak pressure (kPa); CA = contact area (%). Arrows indicate significant post hoc differences between insoles. (↓ = insole has values less than …; ↑ = insole has values greater than …). s = significantly different to static standing value, y = significantly different to dynamic standing value, w = significantly different to walking value. a significant interaction effect for insole and task
