| Popis | Purpose: One of the problems today are lifestyle diseases, especially back pain. The aim of this study was to determine how much and what parts of back muscles are metabolically active during static sitting position during work hours. This project takes place within a specific research. Methods: We monitored the muscles of back and neck in 7 men with a sedentary job. Measurements of infrared radiation and calculate the temperature on the surface of the skin before work and after work was carried out thermal imager FLIR SC620. Results: Graphs were compiled and described thermal images, which confirmed the rise in temperature up to 1% of those monitored in m.rhomboideus and down 2% in m.trapezius. Conclusions: Research confirms the ability of infrared thermography to register temperature changes at the statically loaded back. Thermography could contribute to the proper choice of release and relaxation exercises and pain relief during working hours at sedentary jobs. It’s need to collect more data, we use these initial findings could be confirmed. |
