Thermography of the Foot With Plantar Orthosis Liners
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Objetive: To analyze the thermal effects of the types of liners used in the manufacture of the foot orthoses, as well as to establish the thermal differences among them.
Design: Quantitative, experimental, longitudinal and prospective study. Subjects: 47 individuals selected randomly, over 20 years of age Methods: 4 types of liner were studied: natural skin, synthetic leather, perforated E.V.A and E.V.A. without perforation.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Foot temperature measurement PRE [for a month]
The camera Flir E60BX was used, placed on a tripod one meter away from the feet. A photo of the sole of the foot was taken.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Foot temperature measurement POST [for a month]
Photo after the use of linings inside the shoe
Other Outcome Measures
- Foot temperature measurment by area [for 3 months]
Using the Flir Tools software, 3 areas were selected on each foot, calculating the average temperature in each area: metatarsal heads, lateral region and heel center.
