we have already shown that low intensity pulsed ultrasonic treatment increases rabbit radial fracture healing. the present experiment was undertaken to find out the best duration for treatment. a complete transverse fracture was made in the right radial bones of21 adult male rabbits by a stanley knife. the animals were divided into 4 groups: group 1, control groups 2, 3, and 4, experimental gro...

OBJECTIVE To determine if the application of low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) therapy has a positive effect over the cartilage repair, functional status and reduction of pain in patients with grade 2 or 3 osteoarthrosis of the knee. DESIGN This trial was an observational, before and after study without a control group, in which 10 patients (eleven knees) were studied. We applied LIPUS ...

Initially used in the treatment of prostate cancer and uterine fibroids, the role of focused ultrasound has expanded as transcranial acoustic wave distortion and other limitations have been overcome. Its utility relies on focal energy deposition via acoustic wave propagation. The duty cycle and intensity of focused ultrasound influence the rate of energy deposition and result in unique physiolo...
