Title | Skin blood perfusion (BP) changes under ischial tuberosity (IT) during gluteal neuromuscular stimulation (GNMS) in spinal cord injury (SCI) |

Abstract | Introduction: The IT is one of the most vulnerable site for pressure ulcer (PrU) development in SCI who use wheelchairs [1]. Previous studies suggest that decreased volume of blood in the tissues below the injury in SCI contributes to their susceptibility to PrU [2,3]. Electrical stimulation (ES) was reported to increase tissue blood flow in SCI [4,5]. Various techniques are available to measure tissue/skin blood parameters, yet most of them utilise rigid probes, which could potentially cause local tissue damage. Therefore we aimed to assess gluteal skin blood perfusion changes using a thin flexible optical probe during GNMS in seated SCI. |
