Description

In order to clarify the factors contributing to the regional difference in cold sensitivity, cold spot distribution over the human body was investigated by a mapping method in a climatic chamber (28±0.5℃). Sammi temperature apparatus, the tip of which was controlled at a temperature of 10±0.5℃ was used for the stimulator. The subjects were 9 femele students and the measurements were conducted on the 25 body regions. The results showed that cold spots were distributed in the 8-23 per cm2 range, the highest on the face and the lowest on the leg. The correlation coefficients between cold sensitivity and cold spot distribution were highly significant (r=0.7〜0.8) excluding the palm and sole. The percent of coincidence among two maps obtained on the same area and in the same subject in a 1 hour interval showed that the mapping method was reliable for evaluating cold spot distribution.
