Effect of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound therapy on a rat knee joint contracture model
[Purpose] Histopathological investigation of the effects of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on joint components using a rat knee joint contracture model. [Subjects and Methods] Nineteen, 9-week-old Wistar male rats were divided into a control group (n=6) and an experimental group. Rats in the experimental group underwent cast immobilization of the right rear limb for 8 weeks. They were ...
متن کاملEfficacy of extracorporeal shockwave therapy and low-intensity pulsed ultrasound in a rat knee osteoarthritis model: A randomized controlled trial.
OBJECTIVE This study aims to assess the efficacy of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on osteoarthritic rat knees. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-four rats were divided into 3 groups: group 1-control (n=8), group 2-LIPUS (n=8) and group 3-ESWT (n=8). Cartilage degeneration was provided using mono-iodo-asetate (MIA). One milligram of MIA was deliv...
متن کاملEffect of pregnancy on joint contracture in the rat knee.
As there is evidence that ligamentous laxity is affected by the female hormones, we hypothesized that hormonal changes occurring during pregnancy could have a therapeutic role in preventing the development of a joint contracture. Knee joint contractures were created in pregnant and nonpregnant rats. After 2 wk of immobilization, the degree of contracture was measured with structural properties ...
متن کاملEffect of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound on l929 fibroblasts
INTRODUCTION Ultrasound has proven to be an important therapeutic resource regarding musculoskeletal disease and is routinely used in physical therapy and medicine both therapeutically and diagnostically. The aim of the present study was to analyse the effects with different ultrasound intensities in order to establish the ideal radiation level in cell cultures. MATERIAL AND METHODS FIBROBLAS...
متن کاملThe effect of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound therapy on time to fracture healing: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND The effect of low-intensity ultrasonography on fracture healing is controversial, and current management of fractures does not generally involve the use of ultrasound therapy. We describe a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound therapy for healing of fractures. METHODS We searched 5 electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBA...
