Abstract
The development of a new heat therapy modality (fluidotherapy) consisting of a bed of solid particles suspended in air is reported. Measurements of time integrated heat absorption by a hand immersed in the fluidotherapy unit at 120F (48.9C), a whirlpool at 105.2F, and a paraffin bath at 126F show the average heat absorption to be 17.2, 5.6 and 4.8 BTU respectively during a 15-minute treatment.Entities:
