Microvascular Reactivity to Cutaneous Local Heating in the Paretic and Non‐Paretic Legs of Chronic Stroke Survivors—A Pilot Study
Cutaneous vasodilatory responses to gradual and rapid heating were comparable between stroke survivors and controls. Future studies combining local heating with dermal microdialysis should explore specific vasodilatory pathways, as limb-specific changes may not be evident by measuring vasodilatory magnitude alone.
