What kind of injuries can be caused by cold therapy devices?

Cold therapy patients have suffered severe injuries to the ankles, feet, wrists, hands, shoulders, and knees.

Injuries typically fall into two different categories:

• Nerve damage: objective tests, such as the electromyelogram (EMG) test, can be performed to confirm damage in absence of visible injury.
• Nerve and skin damage: skin damage will have visible injuries, such as frostbite.
