Dear all,
sorry for asking this elementary question: in most posturography papers I
read that participants were standing barefoot on a force plate. the force
plates i know are made of steel, making the contact of the bare feet
uncomfortably cold (some studies have trials of 30 minutes... maybe the
metal warms up over the time .
does anyone have a solution to this, e.g. a cover (linoleum) for the force
plate? would this affect the measurement? i plan to record quiet standing
CoP fluctuations.
Thanks, Julius Verrel
