Thermal Asymmetry Dynamics After Ankle Injury
This blog summarizes a study that examined how thermal asymmetry changed on training days 1 and 14 in football players with and without a history of lateral ankle sprain. The findings suggest…
Tracking Injury Recovery with Infrared Thermography
Lower-extremity muscle problems in professional football players were compared before and after rest using infrared thermography and image processing. Across three documented cases, the method made…
Training-Load Responses After Rectus Femoris Recovery
Two elite football players who returned to sport after conservative and surgical treatment were compared under the same training load using infrared thermography. The surgically treated…
How Balance and Strength Shape the Thermal Heatmap
Lower-extremity thermal values, balance performance and isokinetic strength were evaluated within the same protocol in basketball athletes. The findings showed significant relationships between strength and hamstring…
Exercise-Provoked Thermography Uncovers Sartorius Injury
A sartorius muscle injury that was not clearly visible on resting thermography became detectable after repeat thermal imaging following safe, controlled exercise. This case highlights the…
Segmentation of Lower Extremity Muscles in Thermal Images Using Deep Learning Models
In this blog post, the performance of U-Net, PSPNet, Linknet, and FPN models in segmenting lower extremity thermal images of professional soccer players is evaluated. The…
