Figure 3

Illustrative examples of LDF (left column) and PPG (right column) obtained in a representative subject. Both limbs are represented in distinct colors – in Group 1 the massage limb is orange and the contralateral is blue; in Group 2 left limb is orange and right limb is blue. As illustrated, massage evokes a perfusion increase detected in both limbs in Phase 2, more obvious in the massaged limb with LDF. Hyperoxia evokes a perfusion decrease also in both limbs in Phase 2, clearly visible with both techniques (see text).
