Moist heat in the treatment of poliomyelitis
The value of the hot pack has been exaggerated by many. Use of moist heat is a helpful adjunct in therapy but many other features of treatment are more important. There is no evidence that extensive, continuous packing should be practiced in poliomyelitis. Moderate use of packs seems to be helpful. Local heat applied for twenty minutes does raise the temperature of subjacent muscles to a significant degree for a period of two to three hours. Hot packs and baths tend to relieve pain, assist in making patients more comfortable and promote relaxation of tight muscles. Their use is particularly valuable immediately preceding physiotherapeutic measures which are designed to correct deforming tendencies and increase ranges of motion. Moist heat of itself will not accomplish these objectives. The hot bath, particularly as it can be given in the Hubbard tub, is to be commended.
