Description

Warm spot distribution over the human body was examined by means of a newly developed stimulator, the tip temperature of which was controlled at 40±0.5℃ by circulating hot water. The subjects were 10 female students and the measurements were conducted on 25 body regions. The tests showed that warm spots were distributed in the range of 1〜6/cm^2, high in the face, nape and forearm, and low in the leg. The warm spot distribution had a close relationship with the warm sensitivity over the dorsal surface of the body but not over the ventral surface. The reliability of warm spot mapping was also confirmed in this study. It was clarified that the results of warm spot distribution were highly influenced by the location of the map and this should be the reason for the large individual difference in warm spot density.
