Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate 6 specific standing surfaces (a concrete surface and 5 different floor mat styles). The subjects stood for one hour on each of 6 different surfaces. Each subject completed a comfort evaluation form at 15-minute intervals indicating on a scale of 1 to 10 the discomfort they were experiencing. The most desirable surface was chosen from a statistical analysis and a qualitative selection made by each subject. Mat preference was higher for more compressible mats.
