Thermosemiotics of hands. Neuropathic disorders in thermotopography of hands

Abstract

Central and peripheral neurological pathology, which affects the thermal pattern and thermoreactions of the hands, is diverse both in etiology and pathogenesis, and in the nature and severity of thermal imaging signs, depending on the localization, severity and duration of the disease, individual adaptive and compensatory features, and a number of other reasons. The variants of the temperature distribution on the surface of the hands and its changes under the influence of specialized functional tests in injuries and diseases of the peripheral nerves of the upper limb, as well as in disorders of segmental and suprasegmental genesis, studied with the help of thermal imaging, are the subject of this article.
