Thermal imaging may be effectively used in musculoskeletal system diagnostics and therapy evaluation; thus, it may be successfully applied in myofascial trigger points assessment.
Investigation of thermal pattern changes after myofascial trigger points progressive compression therapy in healthy males and females.
The study included 30 healthy people (15 females and 15 males) with age range 19-34 years (mean age: 23.1 ± 4.21). Thermograms of myofascial trigger points were taken pre- and posttherapy and consecutively in the 15 and 30 minutes. Pain reproducible by palpation intensity was assessed with numeric rating scale.
Progressive compression therapy leads to myofascial trigger points temperature (=0.02) and surface (=0.02) and surface (=0.02) and surface (=0.02) and surface (.
The study indicates that myofascial trigger points reaction to applied therapy spreads in time and space and depends on participants' sex.
热成像可有效应用于肌肉骨骼系统的诊断和治疗评估,因此,它可成功应用于肌筋膜触发点的评估。
调查健康男性和女性肌筋膜触发点渐进性压缩治疗后的热图模式变化。
本研究纳入 30 名健康人(15 名女性和 15 名男性),年龄 19-34 岁(平均年龄:23.1±4.21)。在治疗前、治疗后以及 15 分钟和 30 分钟时,对肌筋膜触发点进行热成像。通过数字评分量表评估触诊强度重现的疼痛。
渐进性压缩治疗导致肌筋膜触发点的温度(=0.02)和表面(=0.02)和表面(=0.02)和表面(=0.02)和表面(=0.02)和表面(=0.02)发生变化。
研究表明,肌筋膜触发点对应用治疗的反应会随时间和空间而扩散,且与参与者的性别有关。
