In patients with spinal cord injury, rectal temperature is difficult to use as body temperature due to impairment such as defecation disturbance. We developed an earphone type device to measure aural canal temperature that can be also used during exerciie in patients with spinal cord injury and evaluated its usefulness.

Aural canal temperature, rectal tempeeature, and non-contact tympanic membrane temperature were measured before, during, and after exercise
