Study Summary
The deleterious effects of hyperthermia are well appreciated in able-bodied persons. However, the consequences of impaired regulation of normal body temperature on cognitive performance of persons with tetraplegia is not known. This study will provide the preliminary findings necessary for future work to design and explore physical and medical interventions to improve temperature regulation in those with tetraplegia with the goal of improved clinical care, health, and quality of life. The proposed study consists of 1 visit during which 20 subjects (10 with tetraplegia, 10 controls) will be exposed to 81°F for 40 minutes and then 95° F for up to 2 hours. Physiological as well as psychological processes will be monitored in all subjects during the study for safety and to determine differences in responses to exposure to hot ambient temperatures
