RESUMEN: Los parámetros antropométricos para la estimación de la composición corporal son variables comúnmente utilizadas en la identificación de factores de riesgo cardiovascular (FRCV). En este sentido la termografía por infrarrojo (TI) podría ser utilizada como una herramienta que aporte infor...
This article aims to describe the evolution of techniques that have enabled the proper application of the Laws of Thermodynamics for physical activity and athletes. The objective is to propose performance indicators to help add information to the current indices used in medicine and sports, such as the l...
A termografia infravermelha consiste em um exame de imagem complementar aplicada na
avaliação da temperatura corporal com base na emissão de radiação infravermelha através
da pele, podendo auxiliar no diagnóstico ou monitoramento das intervenções terapêuticas.
Trata-se de uma técnica não ioni...
Abstract INTRODUCTION Infrared imaging (IR) is a noninvasive technique that quantifies body surface temperature, producing a digital color image. IR has been used to study diseases in which skin temperature can reflect the presence of inflammation. METHODS This was an observational pilot study of eig...
Abstract: Background: Low temperatures and slow blood flow may result from peripheral neuropathy caused by leprosy, and the simple detection of cold fingers could already be a preliminary classification for these patients. Objective: To investigate whether infrared thermography would be able to measure...
BACKGROUND: Infrared thermography is recognized as a viable method for evaluation of subjects with myofascial pain. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to assess the intra- and inter-rater reliability of infrared image analysis of myofascial trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle. METHOD: A...
