BACKGROUND
This preliminary publication describes acute temperature effects after manual Khalifa therapy.
AIMS
The goal of this study was to describe temperature distribution and the effects on surface temperature of the knees and feet in patients with completely ruptured anterior cruciate ligament before and immediately after the manual therapy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Ten male patients were investigated with thermal imaging. An infrared camera operating at a wavelength range of 7.5-13 μm was used. Temperature was analyzed at three locations on both knees and in addition on both feet.
RESULTS
The study revealed that baseline temperature of the injured knee differed from that of the untreated control knee. After the therapy on the injured knee, the surface temperature was significantly increased on both knees (injured and control). There were no significant changes in the temperature of the feet.
CONCLUSIONS
Further studies using continuous thermal image recording may help to explain the details concerning the temperature distribution.
背景
本初步出版物描述了手动哈利法疗法后的急性温度效应。
目的
本研究的目的是描述完全性前交叉韧带断裂患者在手法治疗前和治疗后即刻膝关节和足部的温度分布及其对表面温度的影响。
材料与方法
对10名男性患者进行热成像检查。使用一台工作波长范围为7.5 - 13μm的红外摄像机。在双膝的三个位置以及双脚进行温度分析。
结果
研究显示，受伤膝关节的基线温度与未治疗的对照膝关节不同。对受伤膝关节进行治疗后，双膝（受伤侧和对照侧）的表面温度均显著升高。足部温度无显著变化。
结论
使用连续热图像记录的进一步研究可能有助于解释有关温度分布的细节。
