Abstract:
Thermoregulatory abnormalities are well known but poorly understood phenomena. Pathologic alterations of microvascular blood flow occur in a variety of diseases of the foot, and often cause severe functional impairment. The structure, function, and methods for testing thermoregulatory abnormalities are reviewed. Pathologic manifestations of abnormal thermoregulation are also discussed.
