Infrared thermography contributes to the care of insensitive limbs. The inflammatory response of near damaged or damaged tissue presents areas of increased heat on the surface which can be detected and followed. Thermography was found to be a valuable aid to the established management methods used for insensitivity problems including management of healing and freshly healed ulcerations, management of neuropathic bone and joint problems and fitting of prosthetic devices and custom shoes. The most important contribution thermography offered was the detection of irritated tissue prior to frank breakdown often in time to prevent permanent injury if quick and effective management followed.
红外热成像有助于护理感觉迟钝的肢体。接近受损或已受损组织的炎症反应会使体表出现温度升高区域，这些区域能够被检测到并进行跟踪。热成像被发现对处理感觉迟钝问题所采用的既定管理方法有重要辅助作用，这些问题包括愈合中和刚愈合的溃疡的处理、神经性骨与关节问题的处理以及假肢装置和定制鞋的适配。热成像最重要的贡献在于，通常能在明显破溃之前检测到受刺激的组织，若随后能采取快速有效的管理措施，往往可及时防止永久性损伤。
