Abstract:
Balneotherapy was applied to 15 male cases of vibration disorder for four weeks, whereby examinations were made to judge their disorder of peripheral circulating and nervaus functions at the time of entering and leaving hospital. Results of the examinations disclosed an improving trend concerning skin temperature of fingers, score of nail press test, vibration sensation and pain sensation, which evidently suggests that this therapy is useful in curing of the disorder of peripheral circulation and peripheral nerves.
Meanwhile each of the examinations of skin temperature at the immersion test of one hand, score of nail press test and vibration sensation provides a useful measure for the judgement of remedial values.
