Reactive hyperemia was demonstrated thermographically after short durations (ie, 5, 10, and 15 minutes) of seating on a hard surface. The magnitude of hyperemic response increased significantly (p < .001 for 15 v 5 minutes; p = .019 for 15 v 10 minutes; p = .001 for 10 v 5 minutes) with increased duration of seating. In all six subjects studied, the maximum postseating blood flow continued to increase with up to 15-minute seating on a hard surface, and the mean maximum response was positively correlated with duration of seating (4 = 0.918, p < 0.001). Although there was good correlations between magnitudes of interface pressures measured and vascular responses within each individual, there was no such direct correlation between individuals.
