Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Skin temperature, given in degrees celsius, using infrared thermography. For the assessment of temperature changes infrared thermography was used. To capture the thermographic images was used an infrared camera brand Flir Systems® with digital image processing, thermal sensitivity of 0.08 ° C in spectral range 3-14 microns, suitable for application in clinical diagnosis. It was used for data analysis, Velocity 2.3 support software with automatic calibration. The participant was instructed not to perform physical activity, not to consume hot drinks and / or vasodilator drugs, do not smoke and do not use Cosmetic products in the skin 4 hours before the rating 10. The images were taken in a room with average ambient temperature of 22 ° C, controlled by an infrared thermometer, lack of sunlight and illumination cold light lamps (fluorescent). The participant kept the place of naked assessment in the standing position with feet together, anatomical position, with the camera positioned 1.2 meters away from the assessed region with a reference point on the umbilicus. a period of 15 minutes exposure to the skin come into thermal equilibrium with the temperature of sala10 was subsequently captured image of the abdominal region was expected (baseline - first evaluation). After the therapy according to the group that voluntary intervention was performed was called and immediately after the intervention, carried out another image capture (second evaluation). Followed 20 minutes after the application of the method of termination and voluntary maintained at rest, was held the last image capture (third evaluation). Expected increase in skin temperature of 1.5 ° C to expected effect.
