    Abstract:
    Our serial physiological studies on "the hand and environment" have been reported these last three years. As a stressor to the hand, cold water immersion was the most effective, and the lower the room temperature was, each stressor became the more effective. As a detector for the function of the hand, the digital temperature was the most valuable. However, for studying the digital temperature, the room temperature should be set at more than 20 degrees C. The counting numbers were reduced by aging and colder temperatures. The nerve conduction velocity SCV or MCV became slower in a colder room, but showed no differences between the two age groups in this study.
