Abstract
Exposure to zero and subzero ambient temperatures results in a significant fall in joint temperature, where the knee joint of the cat was used as test object. The fall in rectal, muscle, and “average” skin temperatures for similar exposures is considerably less. Low joint temperature is associated with increased joint stiffness.Keywords
