The purpose of this study was to correlate potential the stabilometric parameters of baropodometry with the superficial temperature of the legs of cancer patients during and after treatment.
This study included 30 volunteers of both sexes, divided into the following groups: chemotherapy-radiotherapy group (n = 15; age = 57.13 ± 16.74 years) and cancer group without current treatment (n = 15; age = 63.29 ± 7.34 years). They were assessed for superficial temperature of the legs using infrared thermography with anterior and posterior views. Assessment of postural balance was conducted using a baropodometer, in 2 conditions-participants' open and closed eyes-to obtain the center of pressure (COP) of anteroposterior displacement, center of pressure of mediolateral displacement (COP-ML), and center of pressure of displacement area.
When their eyes were open, the chemotherapy-radiotherapy group presented a high correlation between the displacement of the ML and the surface anterior temperature of both legs (right: r = 0.578; = .030; left: r = 0.619; = .018) and posterior region of the right leg (r = 0.571; = .033), and they presented a high correlation between COP with anterior surface temperature of both legs (right: r = 0.585; = .028; left: r = 0.540; = .046). When patients' eyes were closed, no correlation was found between the thermography and the stabilometric parameters evaluated.
During the chemotherapy-radiotherapy, cancer patients present ML and COP displacement that correlates with infrared thermography evaluation when their eyes are open.
本研究旨在关联癌症患者在治疗期间及治疗后的足底压力测量潜在稳定参数与腿部表面温度。
本研究纳入30名男女志愿者，分为以下几组：放化疗组（n = 15；年龄 = 57.13 ± 16.74岁）和未接受当前治疗的癌症组（n = 15；年龄 = 63.29 ± 7.34岁）。使用红外热成像仪从前后视图评估他们腿部的表面温度。使用足底压力计在两种条件下（参与者睁眼和闭眼）进行姿势平衡评估，以获取前后位移的压力中心（COP）、内外侧位移压力中心（COP-ML）和位移面积压力中心。
睁眼时，放化疗组的ML位移与双腿前表面温度（右侧：r = 0.578；P = 0.030；左侧：r = 0.619；P = 0.018）以及右腿后区域温度（r = 0.571；P = 0.033）之间呈现高度相关性，并且COP与双腿前表面温度（右侧：r = 0.585；P = 0.028；左侧：r = 0.540；P = 0.046）之间也呈现高度相关性。闭眼时，热成像与所评估的稳定参数之间未发现相关性。
在放化疗期间，癌症患者睁眼时ML和COP位移与红外热成像评估相关。
