Summary, in English
The insulation values from thermal foot measurements can be used in the model calculations. Lotens’ foot model is using the blood flow as heat input parameter for feet (effect through Tcore). The Lotens foot model can give reasonable foot skin temperature values if the model limitations are considered. It could be useful to develop the model further by taking into consideration various wetness levels and activity change.
