Evaporative heat loss insufficient to attain heat balance at rest in individuals with a spinal cord injury at high ambient temperature

The aim of the study was to determine whether climatic limits for achieving heat balance at rest are affected by spinal cord injury (SCI). Twenty-three males (8 able-bodied (AB), 8 with paraplegia (PP) and 7 with tetraplegia (TP)) rested in 37°C and 20% relative humidity (RH) for 20 mins. With the a...
