Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy for Tendinopathy

2018
Shockwaves are three-dimensional pressure pulses of microsecond duration with a peak pressure of 35-120 MPa and have been applied to the treatment of soft tissue and musculoskeletal disorders for over 20 years. The concentrated shockwave energy per unit area, the energy flux density (EFD, in mJ/mm2), is currently used as a descriptive parameter of ...
