Determining Skin Temperature Differences Between Three Cold Compression Modalities, Madison S. Mccarthy
Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers
Background: Cold and compression are common therapeutic interventions used in the treatment of acute musculoskeletal injuries.

The benefit of combining cold and compression is to increase the rate and depth of the temperature drop, while utilizing the effects of both modalities. Purpose: The objective of this study was to determine if a crushed ice pack was as effective as newer cold compression technology to decrease skin temperature. A crushed ice pack was compared to the PowerPlay and Game …

The purpose of this study is …
