Table 2 Univariate analyses of thermotactile perception thresholds for cold (TPTC) and warmth (TPTW) measured on the volar side of the two distal phalanges on the right and left index finger with four explanatory variables, vibration exposure (LTVD1 and LTVD2), age and height
From: Long-term effect of hand-arm vibration on thermotactile perception thresholds
