Case examples of thermographic use
Thermidas provides revolutionary, non-contact, non-invasive, physiological diagnostic tools utilizing thermography to identify and diagnose underlying pathology quickly and reliably at earlier stages than currently adopted methods.
Case example
Broken / operated Achilles tendon
- First thermal image taken eight hours after Orthosis was removed
- Second image taken six weeks later
Case example
Stress fracture
- The patient felt pain on the left foot
- Thermal imaging revealed a substantial asymmerty in the temperature
- Later a stress fracture was diagnosed
Case example
Insoles' effectiveness
- First meeting with the patient due to pain in the knee area
- Thermal imaging revealed abnormal temperatures and helped locate the problem areas
- Custom-made insoles were made
- Follow-up thermal images taken to evaluate the effectiveness of the insoles
- The situation had calmed down and the patient was able to perform normal daily activities
Case example
CRPS
- First meeting with the patient due to pain in the knee area
- Thermal imaging revealed abnormal temperatures and helped locate the problem areas
- Tailor-made insoles were made
- Follow-up thermal images taken to evaluate the effectiveness of the insoles
- The situation had calmed down and the patient was able to perform normal daily activities
