Fig. 3: Cutaneous vascular conductance (CVC) during local cooling (LC) is shown as the mean ± SD in cervical (SCIC; n = 9; □) and thoracolumbar spinal cord injuries (SCITL; n = 9; 
).
).From: Observations of cold-induced vasodilation in persons with spinal cord injuries
A: mV/mmHg on the chest, B: mV/mmHg on the thigh, C: % change from the baseline value (%Δ) on the chest, D: %Δ on the thigh. The averaged values for the last 5 min of 33 °C was set as the baseline, LC of each stage is the first 5 min (15 or 8 °CST) and last 5 min (15 or 8 °Cend). Symbols represent statistical significance: †, vs baseline; §, vs 8 °Cend stage (SCIC); #, vs baseline; ¶, vs 8 °Cend stage (SCITL) at the level of p value < 0.05. The results of the two-way ANOVA for repeated measurements of CVC [mV/mmHg] on the chest and thigh were as follows: effects within participants (Time), F (4, 64) = 5.78 and 2.56, p = 0.02 and 0.10; between participants (Group), F (1, 16) = 0.35 and 0.29, p = 0.56 and 0.60; and interaction effects of Time × Group, F (1, 64) = 0.79 and 1.37, p = 0.41 and 0.27, respectively. The results of the two-way ANOVA of %ΔCVC on both sites were as follows: effects within participants (Time), F (4, 64) = 13.55 and 8.52, p = 0.001 and 0.005; between participants (Group), F (1, 16) = 2.11 and 2.10, p = 0.16 and 0.17; and interaction effects of Time × Group, F (4, 64) = 0.77 and 0.53, p = 0.44 and 0.52, respectively.
