AB - To the Editor: I would like to offer some questions and comments concerning the article, “Effects of Cold Submersion on Intramuscular Temperature of the Gastrocnemius Muscle,” by Johnson and associates (Phys Ther 59: 1238-1242, 1979). The article stated that oral temperature of the subjects was monitored and I must assume that it did not change because this was not stated. The ambient temperature was not given and I assume that it was from 68°F to 73.4°F (20°C–23°C). Was the contralateral leg covered or not? Probably not. I submit that anyone lying uncovered and inactive in a room 13°C to 16°C cooler than body temperature for a period of five hours would tend to cool. The core temperature would tend to be maintained at the expense of peripheral circulation.… Related Article:PubMed Response: Dewayne J Johnson, PhD, Associate Professor Department of Movement Science and Physical Education Florida State University Tallahassee, FL 32306 This content is only available as a PDF. © 1980 American Physical Therapy Association
