ABSTRACT
An instrument called 'Thermosense' was designed and developed for quantitative assessment of thermal sensory perception. Preliminary testing on 20 healthy adult males showed that 39 degrees C was perceived as hot in 19 individuals on the forearm and arm. The perception on the finger tips was less than forearms. In 5 cases of leprosy (BT 4, TT 1) testing showed detectable difference in thermal perception within the lesion, in the skin, in the vicinity of the lesion and the uninvolved skin.
