Thermal threshold testing in older adults requires standardized thermode size and site; leaves open optimal quantitative sensory testing protocols.
The study demonstrates that stimulus characteristics, testing algorithms, thermode size, and body site significantly influence thermal detection thresholds, which is particularly relevant for sensory testing in older adults.
Dyck et al. (1993) studied this question.
