The stability of cold- and heat-sensitive sites is expressed as the percentage of each type of site that was found when the originally identified sites were retested to obtain ratings of perceived intensity during sliding contact. Complete stability would be indicated by 100% of the sites remaining in the original category (indicated by the arrows). Th = thermal sites; Bi = bimodal sites; Noci = nociceptive sites; Ins = Insensitive sites. Note that bimodal and nociceptive sites, which were more unstable than thermal sites, more often became thermal or bimodal sites than becoming insensitive.
