- Adult, Older adult
Who may be able to join
- The admission criteria were: be of legal age, have no current health problems that would hinder or prevent participation in the hike, and carry a backpack weighing less than 3 kg. Participants were asked to use specific hiking footwear (light, flexible, soft-soled, with good grip and breathable material) (low top hiking shoes), based on earlier studies 38-40.

About this study
Official title: Importance of Sock Type in the Development of Foot Lesions on Low-difficulty, Short Hikes
Foot lesions can be developed during hiking because of external factors. This makes it important to study the effect of hiking equipment on lesion development.
This study analyzes the extrinsic factors involved in the appearance of injuries at the feet during the realization of a route of low difficulty and short travel. 33 participants wore cotton not technicians socks in his two feet, were used like control socks and 76 participants wore technical socks "Tierra" and "Set" one on each foot.
Read the detailed description
Socks it used as an indispensable element to protect the foot of injuries during sports practice. The different compositions of socks can influence the appearance of injuries. The technical socks are designed for high-performance sports use ("Lurbel" brand, models "Tierra" and "Set"), and non-technical socks (cotton) for everyday use. The socks had different composition: "Tierra" (50% regenerative, 25% cool-teak, 17% polyamide ions, 8% lycra); "Set" (75% cotton, 17% polyamide, 8% lycra) and cotton (98% cotton, 2% elastane). The technical socks had reinforced weave in the toe, metatarsal and heel areas.

Technical sockDevice
Socks were of two types: technical socks, designed for high performance sports use (Lurbel brand, models Tierra and Set), and non-technical socks for everyday use. The socks had different composition: Tierra (50% regeneractiv, 25% cool-teak, 17% polyamide ions, 8% lycra); Set (75% cotton, 17% polyamide, 8% lycra) and cotton (98% cotton, 2% elastane).
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Thermometer "FTN" "Medisana", precision 0.18º C), | No intervention | Temperatures were taken with an infrared thermometer "FTN" "Medisana", precision 0.18º C. The temperature will be taken into account to see if it will vary according to the socket used as the temperature is a favoring element of dermic injuries on the feet. |
| Non-elastic tape measure | No intervention | Perimeter was measured with a flexible, non-elastic tape measure "Lawton 18-0160", precision 1 mm. The measurement of the feet perimeters will be taken into account to see if it will vary according to the socket used and related to injuries in the feet. |
| Bascule | No intervention | Weight was measured using scales ("Tanita" UM-076, precision 0.1kg). The scale is used to control the weight of the participants in order to find out their body mass index since the weight can influence the appearance of lesions on the feet. |
| Altimeter | No intervention | Height was measured using the weight rod of different scales "SECA 704", precision 1 mm) The altimeter is used to measure the participants in order to find out their body mass index. |
| Socks | Experimental | Socks were of two types: technical socks, designed for high performance sports use "Lurbel brand, models Tierra and Set", and non-technical socks for everyday use. The socks had different composition: "Tierra:50% regeneractiv, 25% cool-teak, 17% polyamide ions, 8% lycra"; "Set:75% cotton, 17% polyamide, 8% lycra" and "cotton: 98% cotton, 2% elastane".
Different socks were given to the participants to see if the different compositions influenced the appearance of injuries in a short route route and little difficulty Receives: Device: Technical sock |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
lesions in foot developed during the hike
All dermal lesions that developed during the walk (both keratopathies with keratinization disorder and dermatopathies without keratinization disorder) Blister, Injury, (Erosion \& chafing), Reddened skin, Urticaria, Crevice, Heloma, all the muscle injuries that developed during the walk (Pain, Inflammation, Muscle discomfort or Sprain) and all the lesions in the skin were analyzed. the nails that developed during the walk, both traumatic and non-traumatic (onycopathies) Onychocryptosis, Subungual hematoma.
Measured: The development of the injuries in a single day of sport activity was observed: kilometer 0 of the route, kilometer 14.5 of the route and kilometer 29.6 of the route.
Secondary outcomes (4)
Temperature
Were mearusedTemperatures in different parts of foot with an infrared thermometer (FTN "Medisana", precision 0.18º C). Three measurements were done and their media was calculated.
Measured: The temperature was measured in three occasions in a single day: kilometer 0 of the route, kilometer 14.5 of the route and kilometer 29.6 of the route
Perimeter
Perimeter in different parts of foot with a flexible, non-elastic tape measure (Lawton 18-0160, precision 1 mm).Three measurements were done and their media was calculated. Three measurements were done and their media was calculated.
Measured: The perimeter was measured in three occasions in a single day: kilometer 0 of the route, kilometer 14.5 of the route and kilometer 29.6 of the route
Weight
Weight was measured using scales (Tanita UM-076, precision 0.1kg).Three measurements were done and their media was calculated.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Technical sock in people with Skin Lesion, run by University of Extremadura.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
lesions in foot developed during the hike (time frame: The development of the injuries in a single day of sport activity was observed: kilometer 0 of the route, kilometer 14.5 of the route and kilometer 29.6 of the route.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03914274, which also lists 43 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Apr 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
