Fig. 6.

Skin temperature in the fingers and toes as well as skin blood flow (mean ± SD) in the hot environment (34 ± 1 °C) in the two groups. The first 20 min (00:00–00:20) indicate data collected during the baseline phase, the next five min (00:20–00:25) indicate responses during the warm immersion, the next 40 min (00:30–00:70) indicate responses during the cold immersion, and the final five min (00:70–00:75) show responses during the recovery phase. Finger and toe temperatures are indicated with continuous yellow lines in paraplegic participants and with dashed yellow lines in the able-bodied individuals. Finger and toe skin blood flow data are indicated with continuous purple lines in paraplegic participants and with dashed purple lines in able-bodied individuals
