Comparison of Sacral Skin Perfusion in Spinal Cord Injury Patients

Study comparing sacral skin blood flow changes in individuals with complete/incomplete SCI to controls during vasodilation peaks using the Biphasic Thermal Index. Results indicate significantly smaller perfusion increases in SCI patients. (*p<0.05, **p<0.01) - Liao F, Jan YK, J Rehabil Res Dev, 2011.

  1. Figure 4. Biphasic thermal index (BTI) of nondisabled controls and people with spinal cord injury (SCI) (complete and incomplete). During axon reflex mediated vasodilation (P1/Baseline), significantly smaller increase in sacral skin perfusion is observed in people with complete (p < 0.01) and incomplete (p < 0.05) SCI compared with nondisabled subjects. During maximal vasodilation (P2/Baseline), significantly smaller increase in sacral skin perfusion is observed in people with incomplete SCI compared with nondisabled subjects (p < 0.05). Values are expressed as mean ± standard error. * indicates p < 0.05 and ** indicates p < 0.01. P1 = first peak of biphasic vasodilation, P2 = second peak of biphasic vasodilation. Liao F, Jan YK.
