Study Summary
To protect against excessive body temperatures, local thermoregulatory mechanisms include temperature sensory nerves (responsive to warm or cool stimuli) and vasomotors (muscles that constrict or dilate blood vessels). When the temperature changes occur, the temperature sensory nerves will detect "warm" or "cool" and communicate this sensation to the brain. This is called perceiving a sensation and will often elicit a behavioral change, such as donning additional clothes or moving to a different environment. Simultaneously, vasomotors will dilate or constrict to promote or prevent heat dissipation to the environment, respectively. As skin temperatures increase, perspiration may provide some thermal relief through evaporative cooling. However, the prostheses worn by individuals with lower limb amputations are impermeable to moisture and prevent evaporative cooling. Prosthetic materials are also excellent thermal insulators, contributing to skin temperature increases. Thermoregulation problems are compounded by diabetes, a common co-morbidity of many who experience lower limb amputation. For those who wear lower limb prostheses, many endure thermal discomfort. This research explores the relationship between skin temperature, perception, and thermoregulation. The investigators aim to discover the temperature at which individuals with lower limb amputation perceive warm and cool stimuli. The investigators also aim to discover the vascular response that occurs when temperature changes are perceived. The goals are to determine temperature sensation thresholds of the lower limb, vascular reactivity, and the effect of diabetes and amputation.
