Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
a.Physiological parameters 1.Skin surface temperature(dorsum of the foot center of the supraclavicular fossa) 2.Tympanic temperature 3.Sweat volume 4.Pulse rate 5.Blood pressure b.Subjective evaluation 1.Hot and cold sensation 2.Comfort-discomfort sensation C.Cleansing efficacy	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
a. Background information 1.Age 2. Gender b. To prevent low-temperature burns, the surface temperature of the towel during application of the hot cloth in the foam-washed hot cloth method is measured using an infrared thermography device (HIKMICRO Mini2 V2Thermal Image), and the temperature of the water during the foot bath in the basin method is continuously measured and observed using a water thermometer.	—
