Abstract

The effect of local hand cooling in air on skin temperature, thermal sensation and pain was studied at three different temperatures, 0, 7 and 15°C, in a cooling box. Eighteen subjects were exposed to each local temperature condition for 95 min. The inter-individual variation in cooling reaction was considerable, especially in the two colder conditions. There was, however, a significant individual consistency in reaction between conditions. Initial hand skin temperature, overall body heat balance, time of day of testing and site of temperature measurement are among the factors discussed in relation to the reactions to local hand cooling. The relation calculated between thermal sensation and hand skin temperature appeared consistent and unaffected by local ambient temperature conditions, and thus by the corresponding variation in rate of cooling, within the limited temperature range studied. Similar results were found for the relation between experienced pain and hand skin temperature.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
