[Telethermography of the soles of the feet. Theory in relation to muscle tension of the back]

The Authors take into consideration the telethermography of the soles of the feet in fifty-four patients suffering from troubles of the rachis and document the thermic asymmetries of the foot at rest: a static and dynamic load. We can find the above mentioned asymmetries also in patients with normal feet and traditional and normal podographies. If we assume a reflex arch parting from the propioceptors of the muscles of the plantar arch, we can make a type of sole that applied to the patients, normalize the muscular tensions of the back. We illustrate two cases treated with different methods but that have given good results both subjectively and objectively.
