    Postural control and thermography
    (2023) BRONSTEIN, P. N.; ALFIERI, F. M.; BATTISTELLA, L. R.
    Effective postural control requires proper functioning and interaction among the sensorimotor and nervous systems. Maintaining an orthostatic posture in tasks that require the body to be erect involves information processing from the visual, vestibular, and somatosensory systems, as well as proprioceptive and cutaneous inputs regarding the contact between the plantar region and the surface. These inputs are integrated and processed by the nervous system, which coordinates neuromuscular responses to stabilize the center of mass within the base of support to maintain postural orientation and balance. Sensory information from the environment and within the body is critical to detect and correct postural instabilities. The autonomic nervous system regulates body temperature, and thermography provides extremely accurate information about body temperature distribution. Temperature changes captured by thermography may suggest possible regional modifications of muscles blood perfusion, which are mainly responsible for maintaining postural control. Therefore, combining postural assessment with thermography can provide a more comprehensive view of the patient's condition. This chapter aims to review studies that have conducted postural assessment in combination with thermography to verify the correlation between these two assessments. By analyzing these studies, we aim to understand the potential benefits of using thermography as an additional tool for evaluating postural control. © 2023 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
