Abstract

1.The heat flow of paraplegic (PA) and able-bodied (AB) subjects were determined at rest in cool and warm conditions.2.During heat exposure upper body sites for both groups showed heat loss, whereas the lower body sites of the PA groups showed heat gain.3.During heat exposure, a systematic difference between groups in the relationship between heat flow and calf-skin temperature existed.4.In conclusion, heat storage appears to be localised in PA subjects at rest and centralised for AB subjects.
