Table 2. Stratification of tactile sensitivity and the degree of thermal sensitivity impairment in lesions.
Tactile sensitivity in lesions | Difference in CPT (°C) (contralateral skin - lesion) | Difference in WPT (°C) (lesion - contralateral skin) | ||||
Mean | Minimum | Maximum | Mean | Minimum | Maximum | |
Green | 8.1 | 2.3 | 27.6 | 4.3 | 1.0 | 7.5 |
Blue | 3.8 | 1.0 | 6.2 | 5.1 | 1.3 | 12.4 |
Lilac | 12.1 | 3.8 | 25.9 | 9.0 | 4.6 | 13.0 |
Dark red | 18.8 | 7.0 | 25.0 | 7.7 | 3.2 | 15.4 |
Orange | 8.2 | - | - | 5.4 | - | - |
Note: The thermal thresholds impairments were calculated as the percentage difference between the values obtained in the skin and the contralateral lesion. The degree of thermal sensitivity impairment in lesions was compared to contralateral skin and indicated by the absolute difference between the threshold values.
