Training may reduce vascular resistance in paralyzed SCI legs; hypothesis-generating for outcomes in larger trials.
Does training reduce resting vascular resistance in the paralyzed legs of patients with spinal cord injury?
Increased vascular resistance in the paralyzed legs of patients with spinal cord injury can be significantly reduced through 6 weeks of training.
Hopman et al. (2002) studied this question.
