Microcirculation parameters of hip joints area in healthy volunteers: 616.728.2:616.1

Abstract

With Laser Doppler Imaging apparatus we examined 30 healthy volunteers of both sexes (18 males and 12 females) and identifi ed normal physiological values of microcirculation parameters (perfusion intensity) in hip joints area. Measurements were performed in unpaired forehead point, in bilateral symmetrical areas of hip joints projections, in upper and lower extremities, in thoracic and lumbar spine. Average values of relative perfusion units at selected points were received. Measured values of perfusion units and revealed relationships may be used in clinical practice for diagnostics of different hip joints pathology and for therapy control.
