The aim of this study was to check thermotherapy influence on the outcome of the rehabilitation program in patients who suffered contractures of joints following the war injuries of extremities and to compare the three different thermotherapy effects: peloid, hidrocolator and paraffin. The research included 36 examinees divided into 4 parallel groups: three experimental and a control one. The observation features were: movement range, skin temperature and hyperemic halo diameter around the joint. Rehabilitation program lasted ten therapeutic days. Experimental group examinees were treated by kinesiotherapy and various types of thermotherapy. Control group examinees were treated only by kinesiotherapy. The results demonstrated that thermotherapy did not influence significantly the functional recovery. Characteristically the best thermotherapeutical effect to the skin was reached by the use of paraffin.
本研究的目的是检验热疗法对四肢战伤后关节挛缩患者康复计划结果的影响，并比较三种不同热疗法的效果：泥疗、热敷袋疗法和石蜡疗法。该研究纳入了36名受试者，分为4个平行组：3个实验组和1个对照组。观察指标为：关节活动范围、皮肤温度和关节周围充血晕直径。康复计划持续10个治疗日。实验组受试者接受运动疗法和各种类型的热疗法。对照组受试者仅接受运动疗法。结果表明，热疗法对功能恢复没有显著影响。使用石蜡对皮肤达到的热疗效果最佳。
