capacitance. A probe was applied to
the skin surface at suitable test sites
identified by the single investigator on
both heels; posterior, posterior medial
or posterior lateral (Girard et al, 2000).
corneometer measurements were taken
at day 0, day 7 and day 14 by the same
investigator podiatrist, in the same room
where temperature and humidity were
controlled. Photographs of the test sites
on the heels of both feet were also
taken on those days to provide a visual
record of skin changes.
