Usage of near infrared spectroscopy in physiotherapy
Journal Title: Baltic Journal of Health and Physical Activity - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is increasingly used as a local tissue oxygenation equipment and it fulfills the functions of an efficient local microcirculation and a concussion growth monitor. Using it in surgery, physiotherapy or rescue indicates a high interdisciplinary diagnostic potential, which could lead us to improve the quality of patients’ lives. The aim of this study was to review literature related to the physiotherapy aspect of using near infrared spectroscopy and to the consideration given to the development of this method. A review of literature related to the topic. Research shows that NIRS is a good tool to assess the changing state of microcirculation in the monitored area. As mentioned above, NIRS can be used in a number of methods available in traditional medicine and physiotherapy. This work is only a set of selected methods, but the development of technology can help to minimize the dimensions of such devices, and to maximize the effects and use of this method, which will certainly make the healing process easier.
