Thermographic quantitative variables for diabetic foot assessment: preliminary results

The aim of this study was to define aspects of a protocol for a diabetic population by obtaining and evaluating thermographic images following thermal stress (cooling of the sole of the foot with cold gel) and mechanical stress (walking 100 m). A sample made up of 15 patients diagnosed as diabetic i...

Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to define aspects of a protocol for a diabetic population by obtaining and evaluating thermographic images following thermal stress (cooling of the sole of the foot with cold gel) and mechanical stress (walking 100 m). A sample made up of 15 patients diagnosed as diabetic individuals and 7 healthy subjects as controls were analysed for this protocol. Following thermal stress, the recovery time of 90% of the basal foot temperature was (64 ± 43) s for control cases and (99 ± 98) s for diabetic cases (p
