Correlation of thermography with spinal dysfunction: preliminary results
August 14, 2014
The results of a blinded pilot study researching the correlation of thermographic abnormalities and spinal segmental dysfunction are presented. The highest agreement resulted between focal increases in thermal emission and fixation (64.7%). Other parameters studied were tenderness and textural skin changes which agreed with thermographic findings 63.7% and 59.9%, respectively. Correlation coefficients were calculated for
