Research Abstract

This study was measured a change of quantity of number of both palms part of bacteria /ATP level /skin pH level /sweat /smell /skin surface temperature /the skin surface humidity in time of before and after of the soap hand bath to hospitalized single paralytics in medical treatment type hospital. The paralysis hands had many numbers of bacteria /ATP level /skin pH level in comparison with non-paralysis hands, and quantity of sweat did not have a difference. In addition, the smell of the contracture paralysis hand was the tendency that was high in comparison with non-paralysis hands. The number of bacteria /ATP level/skin pH level /the smell became the low value just after a soap hand bath and it rose slowly later 48 hours later for 24 hours and it became at the same level just before the soap hand bath 72 hours later.The paralysis hands unpleasantness smell /ATP level is connected with contracture condition and the skin surface humidity/skin pH level of the paralysis hands and it was suggested that I could restrain an unpleasant smell by performing a soap hand bath once in two or three days.
