Relationship between infrared skin radiation and functional tests in patients affected by Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy: Part 2

Abstract

This study represents a second part of a recently published study about a new form of evaluation and development of rare genetic neurodegenerative diseases. The objective is to provide a more global vision of thermography with respect to the Emery-Dreifuss pathology, through the analysis of the data collection carried out for one year. The basic hypothesis is that thermography could become a valid tool for the diagnosis and follow-up of this pathology because is a very specific tool for registering temperature changes produced by a constant degenerative evolution of this muscular dystrophy.

Keywords: Emery-Dreifuss; Muscular dystrophy; Thermography.
