The aim of this study was to assess if thermography as an objective and non-invasive research tool is capable of identifying the changes in the surface temperature of the body as a response to muscle stimulation in Vojta therapy. The research group consisted of children aged 3-10 months with slight abnormalities of the motor pattern, subjected to individually selected stimulation elements according to Vojta.
The Vojta method of spontaneous motor assessment and the thermovision method of assessing the microcirculation properties of muscles were used for the evaluation.
In the study group, changes in the microcirculation parameters of the extensor muscles of the back occurred immediately after the therapy at the first examination.
The analysis featuring an objective assessment allows physiotherapists to diagnose local temperature changes based on the effect of microcirculation parameters in the musculofascial structures.
The research was conducted as a pilot study for a scientific project approved by the Commission for Scientific Research of the University of Health and Sport Sciences in Wroclaw No 24/2021. The study is currently in the registration process with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry.
本研究旨在评估红外热像作为一种客观、非侵入性的研究工具，是否能够识别 Vojta 疗法中肌肉刺激引起的体表温度变化。研究组由 3-10 个月大、运动模式轻微异常的儿童组成，根据 Vojta 选择的个别刺激元素进行治疗。
采用 Vojta 自发性运动评估法和肌肉微循环特性的热像法进行评估。
在研究组中，治疗后第一次检查时，背部伸肌的微循环参数立即发生变化。
基于肌筋膜结构中微循环参数的影响进行客观评估的分析，使物理治疗师能够诊断局部温度变化。
该研究是由弗罗茨瓦夫健康与体育科学大学科学委员会批准的科学项目的试点研究[24/2021]。该研究目前正在澳大利亚和新西兰临床试验注册中心进行注册。
