Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Focused
fESWT (0.05-0.29 mJ/mm2, 2000 shocks, 5 Hz)
Extracorporeal shock wave
Shock waves are defined a sequence of acoustic pulse characterized by a high peak pressure (100 MPa), fast pressure rise (\< 10 ns) and short duration (10 μs). Different studies and clinical experiments have demonstrated the efficacy of shock waves in the treatment of musculoskeletal system such as chronic tendinopathies or hypertrophic pseudoarthrosis.
Radial
rESWT (2000shocks, 4 Bar, 5Hz)
Extracorporeal shock wave
Shock waves are defined a sequence of acoustic pulse characterized by a high peak pressure (100 MPa), fast pressure rise (\< 10 ns) and short duration (10 μs). Different studies and clinical experiments have demonstrated the efficacy of shock waves in the treatment of musculoskeletal system such as chronic tendinopathies or hypertrophic pseudoarthrosis.
