Correlation of clinical and thermal imaging assessment of the rehabilitation effectiveness in children aged 5-8 years with spastic forms of cerebral palsy

EasyChair Preprint 2111

Abstract

For rehabilitation effectiveness assessment, a comprehensive examination using standardized questionnaires and infrared thermal imaging was performed in 20 children aged 5-8 years with spastic forms of cerebral palsy. The rehabilitation was carried out for one year and included inpatient and outpatient treatment both in clinic and at home. The possibilities of thermal imaging monitoring of treatment have been demonstrated. An attempt has been made to explain cases of mismatch between thermal imaging and clinical assessment of results. The proposed approach has a potencial for creating a reliable, convenient, non-invasive, and high-precision thermal imaging method for validating standardized clinical questionnaires.
