Abstract
A stimulation device for the determination of the temperature perception of the skin of a patient by means of a stimulator, which is arranged in a casing and which can be heated up or cooled down by a Peltier element. The stimulator (1) is arranged moveably along an axis (5) in the casing (4) and shows a projection (14) in relation to the casing (4) in the starting position. A first pressure device (6) cooperates with said stimulator (1) in such a way that said stimulator (1) can be shifted along said axis (5) by expenditure of force until said projection (14) is at zero. The force is predefined or adjustable by said first pressure device (6).
