“…Studies on changes of skin temperature after caffeine intake are contradictory (temperature decrease: [66]; temperature increase: [26]; no tem- perature change: [15]). Conversely, skin surface temperature can be increased by physical exertion, the use of stimulants such as alcohol [3,45,77], topically applied nicotinate [13] and inflammation secondary to trauma [43,72] or even sunburn [25]. Heavy powdering on chest, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), pregnancy and menstruation, can also affect breast surface temperature.…”

“…In [3], it indicates that the main damages that the athletes suffer are in the muscular zones, of which they are considered as muscular pathologies that are responsible in the rehabilitation of the skeletons, for that reason, they made a thermographic study to identify the zones of higher temperature sectoring the muscles of greater importance, in addition, classify the muscle damage to know the ranges of the mildest and the most deadly in which it can reach a muscle breakdown.…”

Muscle heating is the process that every athlete follows before any physical activity or sport which are the legs where greater force is exerted and in case a good heating routine is not practiced, the muscles can suffer tears, cramps or fractures due to sudden movements while the muscles are cold. According to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases of the United States, the most common injuries occur in the ankles because it is a central point where greater force is exerted by the induced weight of the athletes, in addition if excessive muscle care is important. That is why the evaluation of muscle heating in athletes to prevent muscle damage was raised in this research work, first two thermal images of the before and after heating will be obtained using the FLIR ONE Pro thermal camera following a protocol of distance, position and temperature range, then the images are processed in the MATLAB software to map them in the temperature range and then subtract them to obtain the zones where the temperature variations are found indicating where an adequate heating has been carried out. As a result, the areas where the subtraction of both images was positive were obtained, this new image of the subtraction is superimposed on the real image, showing the real image with the areas where it has proceeded with an optimal heating.

“…Another important factor, skin temperature on the clubfoot, need to be considered in the assessment of clubfoot during the casting intervention. The abnormal temperature can be seen in the following conditions such as muscle contracture area, tenderness, pain, swelling, muscle spasm, injury, and other musculoskeletal disorders (Ring and Ammer, 2012 ) and acute muscle injuries (Schmitt and Guillot, 1984 ). Most of the ligaments, joints, muscles, and other soft tissues in the clubfoot are contracted toward medial side of the foot (Anand and Sala, 2008 ).…”

Developing a Three-Dimensional (3D) Assessment Method for Clubfoot—A Study Protocol

Background: Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) or clubfoot is a common pediatric congenital foot deformity that occurs 1 in 1,000 live births. Clubfoot is characterized by four types of foot deformities: hindfoot equinus; midfoot cavus; forefoot adductus; and hindfoot varus. A structured assessment method for clubfoot is essential for quantifying the initial severity of clubfoot deformity and recording the progress of clubfoot intervention.Aim: This study aims to develop a three-dimensional (3D) assessment method to evaluate the initial severity of the clubfoot and monitor the structural changes of the clubfoot after each casting intervention. In addition, this study explores the relationship between the thermophysiological changes in the clubfoot at each stage of the casting intervention and in the normal foot.Methods: In this study, a total of 10 clubfoot children who are <2 years old will be recruited. Also, the data of the unaffected feet of a total of 10 children with unilateral clubfoot will be obtained as a reference for normal feet. A Kinect 3D scanner will be used to collect the 3D images of the clubfoot and normal foot, and an Infrared thermography camera (IRT camera) will be used to collect the thermal images of the clubfoot. Three-dimensional scanning and IR imaging will be performed on the foot once a week before casting. In total, 6–8 scanning sessions will be performed for each child participant. The following parameters will be calculated as outcome measures to predict, monitor, and quantify the severity of the clubfoot: Angles cross section parameters, such as length, width, and the radial distance; distance between selected anatomical landmarks, and skin temperature of the clubfoot and normal foot. The skin temperature will be collected on selected areas (forefoot, mid foot, and hindfoot) to find out the relationship between the thermophysiological changes in the clubfoot at each stage of the casting treatment and in the normal foot.Ethics: The study has been reviewed and approved on 17 August 2016 by the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network Human Research Ethics Committee (SCHN HREC), Sydney, Australia. The Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) registration number for this study is: HREC/16/SCHN/163.
