The Use of Thermal Infra-Red Imaging to Detect Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), also known as exercise induced muscle damage (EIMD), is commonly experienced in individuals who have been physically ...

This study utilized dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to determine the association that age-related calcinosis of the aorta and intervertebral disks have in determining bone mineral density (BMD). Eight cadavers were chosen at random and were scanned with DXA before and after the removal of the aorta and intervertebral disks. Our results showed that the removal of sclerotic aortas decreased the vertebral BMD an average of 4.64% and the removal of two lumbar intervertebral disks further decreased BMD an average of 11.93%. These results were deemed significant at the 0.01 level using a Friedman two-way analysis of variance by ranks. It can be concluded that the presence of aortic arteriosclerotic lesions and intervertebral disk chondrocalcinosis add a significant contribution to BMD.

Abstract Background: Exercise is of great value for individuals with diabetes in helping to control their hemoglobin A1c levels and in increasing their insulin sensitivity. Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is a common problem in healthy individuals and in people who have diabetes. People with diabetes are also faced with metabolic and endothelial impairments, which could make DOMS even worse. But because they usually have neuropathies, they may not feel this soreness appropriately, leading to premature return to exercise and causing further injuries. Research Design: One hundred eighteen subjects participated in this study and were divided into four groups. Two groups (healthy and diabetes) performed a series of abdominal exercises, and the other two groups (healthy and diabetes) performed a series of arm exercises to induce DOMS. Skin temperature above the muscle was assessed using a thermal infrared camera, and perceived soreness of the exercised muscle was assessed using a 100-mm visual analog scale. Serum myoglobin concentrations were also measured. Results: There was a significant increase in skin temperature 24â€‰h post-exercise for all four exercise groups (P<0.05), where the combined average increase in skin temperature for all four groups was approximately 0.65Â°C from baseline. Also, 24â€‰h post-exercise, all four groups were significantly sorer than they were at baseline (P<0.05). Serum myoglobin levels were also significantly higher on day 3 compared with day 1 (P<0.05). Conclusion: Infrared thermal imaging may be a valuable technique of seeing which muscles are sore hours or even days after the exercise is over. Thus, thermal imaging would be an efficient and painless way of looking at DOMS in both healthy individuals and individuals who have diabetes, even if they are facing neurological problems.

Abstrakt: &Uuml;bung ist sehr wertvoll f&uuml;r Menschen mit Diabetes zur ihre H&auml;moglobin A1c Ebenen Kontrolle und bei der Steigerung ihrer Insulinempfindlichkeit. Verz&ouml;gert einsetzende Muskelkater (DOMS) ist ein h&auml;ufiges Problem bei gesunden Menschen und bei Menschen, die Diabetes haben. Menschen mit Diabetes sind auch mit Stoffwechsel- und endothelial Beeintr&auml;chtigungen konfrontiert die DOMS noch schlimmer machen k&ouml;nnte. Aber da sie meist Neuropathien haben, sie k&ouml;nnen nicht diese Schmerzen entsprechend, vorzeitige R&uuml;ckkehr zur &Uuml;bung und weitere Verletzungen verursachen. Forschungsdesign: Ein hundert achtzehn Themen nahmen an dieser Studie Teil und wurden in vier Gruppen eingeteilt. Zwei Gruppen (gesund und Diabetes) eine Reihe von Bauch-&Uuml;bungen und die anderen beiden Gruppen (gesund und Diabetes) durchgef&uuml;hrt, eine Reihe von Arm-&Uuml;bungen DOMS zu veranlassen. Hauttemperatur &uuml;ber den Muskel wurde anhand einer thermischen Infrarot-Kamera und wahrgenommenen Schmerzen der Muskeln ausge&uuml;bt wurde anhand einer 100-mm-visuellen analogen-Skala. Myoglobin Serumkonzentration wurden auch gemessen. Ergebnisse: Gab es ein deutlichen Anstieg der Haut Temperatur 24 h Post-exercise f&uuml;r alle vier &Uuml;bung Gruppen (P &lt; 0,05), wo der kombinierten durchschnittlichen Anstieg der Hauttemperatur f&uuml;r alle vier Gruppen etwa 0,65 &deg; C vom Ausgangswert war. Auch 24 h Post-exercise, aller vier Gruppen waren signifikant sorer, als sie bei Studienbeginn waren (P &lt; 0,05). Myoglobin-Serumspiegel waren auch deutlich an Tag 3, Tag 1 gegen&uuml;ber (P &lt; 0,05). Fazit: Infrarot-Thermographie m&ouml;glicherweise eine wertvolle Technik zu sehen, welche Muskeln sind wund Stunden oder sogar Tage nach Ende die &Uuml;bung. Thermographie w&auml;re somit eine effiziente und schmerzfreie Art der Betrachtung DOMS in gesunden Personen und Personen, die Diabetes, selbst wenn sie neurologische Probleme konfrontiert sind.
