The vascular reflex responses of the hands of ten spinal cord injured (SCI) men (sensory and motor complete) to a modified cold pressor test were compared to ten age-matched, able-bodied men. The skin temperature of the left index finger was measured before, during and after the immersion of the feet in ice water for 20 seconds. The heart rate and blood pressure were measured 5 mn before and 15 mn after the cold stimulus. These data support the concept that regulation of vascular tone occurs at both spinal and supraspinal levels.
