Effect of different thermal stimuli on improving microcirculation in the contralateral foot

摘要

The plantar temperature (a) and skin blood flow (b) before and immediately after heating. T_Base and SBF_Base indicate the mean skin temperature and skin blood flow in the baseline stage, respectively. T_ PostI and SBF_PostI indicate the mean skin temperature and skin blood flow in the Recovery stage during the first 10 s after heating. **Indicates a significant difference between the Baseline stage and Recovery stage, p < 0.01
