According to the above definition of CIVD, we observed 75 CIVDs in both groups, distributed as follows: 13 in the cool environment, 17 in the thermoneutral environment, and 45 in the hot environment (Heat map presenting the number of paraplegic and able-bodied participants that demonstrated a CIVD reaction for each minute of the cold immersion during exposure in the cool environment (16 ± 1 °C)Colors indicate frequencies.
