This study examines changes in body temperature generated in the wrist area through sensory thermography technique because of highly repetitive movements, proving with this technique that there is a decreased ability to perform muscular work, and thereby assess possible pathologies of Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTDs). Methods: Two healthy right-handed individuals, who performed repetitive work, emulating an operation of the textile industry for three days, generated DTA in the area of the wrist. The evaluation time was of 3 hours 30 minutes in a controlled temperature between 20 and 25°C, 20 minutes stabilization time at the beginning and end of the operation. Results: The maximum temperatures reached were on the right wrist (RW) of 35. 078°C over a period of 1 hour 41 minutes 52 seconds; and on the left wrist (LR), 34.663°C over a period of 2 hours 42 minutes 51 seconds, detected discomfort in their right shoulder and wrist in the time range which identified the highest temperatures. It was shown that the data does not fit a normal distribution for RW and LW; the data fit the three-parameters Weibull distribution for WR and LW with a correlation coefficient between 0.93 to 0.99.

This research study deals with the application of sensory thermography on workers of the textile industry who are working in areas where they do Highly Repetitive Movements (HRM). Objectives: To analyze those with variations of temperature generated in the wrist area during a period operation of 2 hours 30, showing the feasibility of the implementation of the sensory thermography in this area evaluated. Methodology: A total of the workers of the workstation called high risk were evaluated, where 3 men and 3 women (they showed Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CTS of their dominant hand), who carried out their normal activity using a defined protocol for this experiment. Results: The maximum temperature was obtained in the experiment of the worker 3 in the right wrist with 35.586°C attained in the time of 1 h 34 min 21; and in the worker 6 was obtained in the left wrist with 34.633°C for a period of 1 h 34 min 56. Conclusions: We conclude that in 86% of the cases analyzed in both wrists, there was similarity in patterns of temperature from a wrist to another regardless of the gender and of their dominant hand. All data adjust to the distributions of the three parameters Weibull and Weibull for the wrists.
