“…Therefore, the observed changes in temperature after the Indiba ® treatment during the observation are a direct result of the influence of the applied therapy. The obtained results indicate that the conducted therapy is characterized by a thermal effect, confirming its effectiveness [ 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ].…”

“…Nevertheless, statistical analysis showed significant differences in temperature at a given point in thermography after CRET therapy depending on the electrode used. Thus, on this basis, taking into account the principle of operation of the Indba ® treatment and the expected effects [ 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ], it can be determined which of the electrodes results in a greater temperature rise. Therefore, the conducted analysis is important for patients who do not tolerate treatments that result in an increase in body temperature.…”

Diathermy is a method used in physiotherapy based on obtaining an increase in temperature by supplying energy from the electromagnetic field to the tissues. The aim of this retrospective work, based on the data included in a medical documentation, was to assess the dynamics of temperature changes on the body surface after the application of a high-frequency electromagnetic field depending on the type of electrode used. In order to generate a radio frequency electromagnetic field, an INDIBA ACTIV® CT9 was used. In order to measure the temperature, an HT-17 thermovision camera was used, enabling measurements within the range of −20 to 300 °C, with an accuracy of ±2% or 2 °C. The participants consisted of 30 healthy subjects (15 women and 15 men) who were physiotherapy students in the Faculty of Public Health in the Silesian Medical University in Katowice, Poland; they were divided into two comparative groups (A and B). It was found that the differences between the groups were not significant in the measurements carried out before using the electrode (p = 0.84; Mann–Whitney U test). On the other hand, at 0, 5 and 15 min, statistically significant differences were noted in the tissue temperature between the groups, depending on the electrode used (p = 0.00; Mann–Whitney U test). Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that with the extension of the observation time, the tissue temperature increased (for Group A, Me 30.40 °C vs. 34.90 °C; for Group B, Me 30.70 °C vs. 35.20 °C). Our study confirmed that the use of both a capacitive and resistive electrode during treatment with the use of a high-frequency electromagnetic field statistically significantly increased the surface temperature of the area to which the therapy was applied. The results of the study can be used in clinical practice by physiotherapists to optimize the conditions of therapy.

“…Prior studies have shown improvements in passive trunk mobility following chiropractic care [ 42 , 43 ] and when combined with low-level laser therapy [ 38 ]. Active cervical range of motion has been used as an outcome parameter to assess the therapeutic response to a deep tissue heating modality; however, no significant treatment effects were reported [ 70 ]. Active range of motion (i.e., baited stretches) has been used in numerous studies to assess changes in thoracolumbar multifidi muscle cross-sectional area [ 39 , 71 ].…”

“…While the cumulative spinal reflex scores decreased (i.e., improved) over time in both the polo and Quarter Horses, the changes were not statistically significant. Again, spinal reflexes have been used extensively in the clinical setting but have not yet been validated as an outcome parameter in a research setting for horses [ 70 ].…”

Chiropractic care is a common treatment modality used in equine practice to manage back pain and stiffness but has limited evidence for treating lameness. The objective of this blinded, controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the effect of chiropractic treatment on chronic lameness and concurrent axial skeleton pain and dysfunction. Two groups of horses with multiple limb lameness (polo) or isolated hind limb lameness (Quarter Horses) were enrolled. Outcome measures included subjective and objective measures of lameness, spinal pain and stiffness, epaxial muscle hypertonicity, and mechanical nociceptive thresholds collected on days 0, 14, and 28. Chiropractic treatment was applied on days 0, 7, 14, and 21. No treatment was applied to control horses. Data was analyzed by a mixed model fit separately for each response variable (p < 0.05) and was examined within each group of horses individually. Significant treatment effects were noted in subjective measures of hind limb and whole-body lameness scores and vertebral stiffness. Limited or inconsistent therapeutic effects were noted in objective lameness scores and other measures of axial skeleton pain and dysfunction. The lack of pathoanatomical diagnoses, multilimb lameness, and lack of validated outcome measures likely had negative impacts on the results.
