The use of thermal imaging to monitoring skin temperature during cryotherapy: A systematic review

The use of thermal imaging to assess the effectiveness of ice massage and cold-water immersion as methods for supporting post-exercise recovery

“…It is likely that after returning to the resting values, the skin surface temperature increases further, which indicates a higher metabolism for the following few hours (Bonomi et al, 2012). In this context, thermography meets the criteria for a noninvasive and safe method for observing changes in surface temperature Cholewka et al, 2012;Dębiec-Bąk et al, 2013;Zalewski et al, 2013;Matos et al, 2015). For sports practice, it can help observe the intensity of post-exercise recovery, especially in terms of overcompensation (Kenttä and Hassmén, 1998).…”

“…The evaluation of the effectiveness of cold treatment strategies remains open; however, according to Matos et al (2015), thermography seems to be an efficient, reliable, and safe method for monitoring skin temperature during cold treatment. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of ice massage and cold-water immersion for supporting recovery and preventing DOMS after maximal physical effort, as well to assess the applicability of thermography in this evaluation.…”

Thermographic Evaluation for the Diverse Stage of Anxiety on Face Temperature at Frontal and Temporal Using Thermal Imaging

“…The heat balance in the body was regulated by the largest thermoregulatory organ in cutaneous tissue (Matos et al, 2015). While the vasoconstriction that occurs in blood vessels decreases the blood flow to the skin tissue and internal organs, a hyperemia reaction will occur that causes an increase in blood volume in the internal organs.…”

“…That process makes the blood would return to the periphery. Vasodilatation occurs when there was a change in capillary permeability due to the reflex regulation of heart rate and blood pressure (Matos et al, 2015).It can be concluded that thermal imaging is able to provide the monitor skin temperature.…”

Crioterapia Em Modelo De Compressão Do Nervo Isquiático: Análise Funcional E Morfológica

“…6 A crioterapia induz a redução da temperatura corporal, que diminui a taxa metabólica dos tecidos, as reações enzimáticas, a liberação de histamina, leva à vasoconstrição com consequente diminuição do fluxo sanguíneo, permeabilidade da membrana e edema. 7 Além disso, apresenta efeitos analgésicos, por meio da ação sobre a velocidade de condução nervosa e inibição da transmissão de sinais de dor para o corno posterior da medula espinal. 8 O frio também pode agir como um estimulante contra irritante pelas vias centrais da dor, que então ativam as vias descendentes inibitórias, bloqueando a transmissão da dor para o cérebro.…”
