analyzed with a post hoc Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test demonstrated exhibited similar time to peak pressure
with a Bonferroni adjusted alpha value. in all of the masked regions however there was a
significant difference between the barefoot condition
time to peak pressure and all shoe conditions (Tables 1 and 2).
Results from sensors 2, 4, 5 and 8 demonstrated contact time
significant differences, with the round shoe
condition demonstrating an earlier time to peak Sensors 2, 3, 4 and 5 and the toe regions showed
