title: [Influence of topical ice application on accommodation ability (the mechanism of action of cryotherapy) (author's transl)].
abstract: An investigation was carried out on 100 muscles (14 patients) and it is concluded that the ability to accommodate by nerve and muscle fibres is influenced by the topical application of ice. The factor of accommodation, the Reizungsdivisor according to Kries [6], was determiend before and after cryotherapy. This ratio, which is an index of adequate muscle-fibre innervation, was significantly depressed after the application of ice.
