Abstract
Purpose: The methods of thermal imaging in biomechanics and medicine are still not fully standardised, in contrary to other popular methods of muscle activity examination. This this makes it difficult to compare test results performed in different laboratories or even undermines credibility of some of the results.
Methods: The proposed standardisation procedure is based on the International Association of Certified Thermographers, American Academy of Thermology, European Association of Thermology, scientific publications and authors experience. The most restricted recommendations are chosen, described and discussed.
Results: The standardisation procedure of infra-red imaging in biomechanics is presented and discussed. Volunteer preparation, laboratory conditions, and tips how to make a thermal image are described. The state of the art is presented and chosen aspects of thermal imaging pointed out.
Conclusions: The presented method allows to create repeatable conditions and to minimise the influence of factors that can change the temperature readings. As a result, when using the proposed standardisation, higher repeatability and precision of measurements are obtained.
