  • barefoot on a metal forceplate?

    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
