“…Podstawową ich zaletą jest całkowicie nieinwazyjny charakter oraz brak jakichkolwiek skutków ubocznych dla pacjenta, a co za tym idzie możliwość wielokrotnego powtarzania pomiarów bez szkody dla badanego [8]. Thermovision is one of the most useful tools for that purpose, because it allows to assess the effectiveness of the single procedure and gives the opportunity to follow and assess serial procedures not only in medicine [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26], but also in the practice of biological regeneration in athletes [27][28][29][30][31].…”

Purpose of the research was to assess the influence of an individual classical back massage session as well as the effects of an entire 8-session back massage therapy on cardiological and spirometry parameters in a patient after recovering from COVID-19, with constant monitoring of massage areas’ temperature changes. Continuous oxygen saturation monitoring during the massage sessions enabled to observe a decrease in the level of this parameter during utilisation of rubbing and tapotement on muscles of both the right and the left side of the back. During the usage of the intense massage techniques SaO2 dropped maximally to 92– 93%. The observed changes in the VA/Q ratio that occurred in response to the 8-session massage therapy lasting for 3 weeks might indicate that better conditions for ventilation and oxygen perfusion at the alveolar surface were reached. This translated in the patient who recovered from COVID-19 into 2% increase in oxygen saturation level after completing the massage therapy. Conclusion. Utilising the intense rubbing and tapotement techniques has to be carefully considered due to their significant influence on decrease in the level of saturation.

BACKGROUND: Local cryotherapy (LC) is one of the physiotherapeutic treatment methods of various diseases, including musculoskeletal disorders. When choosing the method and exposure modes, the medic relies on his experience and data from LC equipment manufacturer. This is not enough for correct dosing, impact control and understanding of the relationship of one or another effect from the cooling parameters of the biotissue. Therefore, it is advisable to conduct a study of different methods of LC and modes to perform effective and safe impact. The temperature on the surface of the biotissue acts as a convenient and measurable factor of efficiency and safety. Earlier analysis shows that the target temperature is 10 2 C, the limit temperature is 0 C, when lowering below which tissue damage is possible. AIM: Experimental comparison and identification of the most suitable modes of two different methods of contactless local cryotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An experimental installation was developed and created. A series of experiments was carried out on a model medium with thermophysical properties close to biotissues. The comparison of liquid nitrogen and air flow cooling is carried out. The temperature was measured with resistance thermometers (Pt100) on the surface and in the depth of the model medium. RESULTS: When cooled by liquid nitrogen vapors from a distance of 10 and 15 cm from the surface, the accepted average target temperature of 10 C was reached in 1.8 and 4.4 min, and at a depth of 8 mm, the temperature was 26.4 and 23.7 C, respectively. When cooled with air from a distance of 10 cm from the surface with maximum and minimum flow, the target temperature was reached in 2.5 and 13.3 min, at a depth of 8 mm, the temperature was 22.9 and 16.0 C, respectively. When cooled by air from a distance of 15 cm, the temperature value did not reach the target. The less intense flow made it possible to lower the temperature inside the model medium more strongly, while having a weaker effect on the surface. This effect can potentially be positive in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, mainly joints. CONCLUSIONS: The most suitable modes of the considered methods that meet the requirements of efficiency, safety and convenience of practical implementation are identified. For cooling by liquid nitrogen vapors, this is a mode spraying at a distance of 15 cm with a stable technique with a possible exposure time from 4.4 to 15 minutes. For air flow cooling, this is a mode with a stable technique with a constant flow with the nozzle fixed relative to the surface of the model medium at a distance of 10 cm with a minimum flow rate (350 l/min) with a possible exposure time from 13.3 to 21.5 min.

Cupping therapy can relieve muscle fatigue and pain after exercise by increasing blood flow at the treatment site, which may lead to dynamic changes of the local skin temperature. This study aimed to analyze the effect of cupping on local skin temperature under two different negative pressures using infrared thermography (IRT). Cupping therapy was performed on the forearms of 22 healthy subjects using the negative pressures of − 0.03 and − 0.04 MPa. IRT was used to record the dynamic changes in skin temperature before, during, and after cupping. Both cupping pressures induced a non-linear skin temperature response: temperature decreased first and then increased during cupping, while it first increased and then decreased after cupping. A significant difference was noted between the two negative pressure groups in the maximum temperature increment after cupping (P < 0.001). Compared with the basal temperature before cupping, the maximum increase in skin temperature after cupping in the − 0.03 and − 0.04 MPa groups was 0.92 and 1.42 °C, respectively. The findings of this study can lay the foundation evaluating the curative effect of cupping based on IRT and provide an objective reference for selecting the cupping negative pressure.
