Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between thermography patterns and the clinical features of thalamus hemorrhage in the recovery period. MethodsTwo hands skin temperature of 32 patients with thalamus hemorrhage were measured with infrared heat radiation imaging 1 month after the stroke. Results21(66%) of 32 patients showed different imaging patterns between the affected limbs and the healthy sides. Of the 25 palsy patients, 18 (72%) showed abnormal images, just 3 of 7(42.6%) patients with normal muscle force showed abnormal images, and the difference was significanct(P<0.05). There was no relation between sensory disorder and imaging pattern. Patients with hematom lager than 10 millilitre showed more abnormal images than those with hematom under 10 millilitre(P<0.05). Patients with a course within 3 months had a tendency to show hot pattern, while those with a course beyond 3 month showed cold pattern. Conclusion There are certain relations between thermograpy patterns and the symptoms, signs of thalamus hemorrhage.
