METHOD OF DETERMINING SKIN THERMOREACTIVITY Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, particularly, physiotherapy and health resort treatment; applicable in prompt assessment of individual features of skin thermal recovery. SUBSTANCE: method includes temperature measurement of skin section for at least five minutes before cooling; cooling of patient's skin section with ice for 60 s; single measurement of skin section temperature after cooling on 30th s; calculation of rate of skin temperature reaction by formula given in the invention description. If skin temperature reaction rate is less that 13.9 Δ%, hypothermoreactivity of skin is stated, with rate ranging within 13.9 and 22.7 Δ%, normal skin thermoreactivity is stated; and if rate exceeds 22.7 Δ%, skin hyperthermoreactivity is stated. EFFECT: simplified determination of skin thermoreactivity. 3 ex
