Chiropractic analysis uses advanced infrared technology and new software to accurately compare skin temperature data. This method enhances the reliability of spinal heat distribution pattern evaluations for better chiropractic insights.

Area of Science:

Chiropractic medicine
Biomedical engineering
Medical instrumentation

Background:

Chiropractic analysis historically used thermocouple-based instruments for spinal temperature readings.
Advancements in infrared technology have significantly improved the accuracy and reliability of skin temperature detection.
Existing methods for analyzing spinal heat distribution patterns can be enhanced with modern technology.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop computer software for processing and analyzing skin temperature data from a dual-channel heat sensing instrument.
To standardize, store, and retrieve temperature data for comparative analysis.
To graphically display and statistically evaluate temperature data and differences.

Main Methods:

Utilizing a dual-channel heat sensing instrument with advanced infrared technology.

Employing moving Pearson Product Moment correlation and moving t-test for statistical analysis of comparative graphs.

Main Results:

The developed software effectively processes and displays temperature data from both channels of the sensing instrument.
The software allows for the visualization of relative temperature differences between channels.
A 10-point moving correlation and t-test were found to yield accurate comparisons between graphs.

Conclusions:

The new software provides an accurate and reliable method for analyzing chiropractic thermal data.
This approach enhances the evaluation of skin temperature profiles and spinal heat distribution patterns.
The integration of infrared technology and advanced software improves diagnostic capabilities in chiropractic analysis.
