The use of footwear insulation values measured on a thermal foot model
(2004) In International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics 10(1). p.79-86- Abstract
- The use of physiological data from human tests in modelling should consider background data, such as
activity, environmental factors and clothing insulation on the whole body. The present paper focuses on local
thermal comfort of feet with special attention on the effects of physical changes of footwear thermal
properties. An alternative test method is available for footwear thermal testing besides the standard method.
The possibility to use insulation values acquired on a thermal foot model in practice is shown here. The paper
describes the correlation between cold and pain sensations, and foot skin temperatures of the subjects and
relates these to insulation measured on a thermal foot... (More) - The use of physiological data from human tests in modelling should consider background data, such as
