Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy for Lower‐Limb Spasticity in an Individual With Subacute Stroke: A Case Report [PDF]

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy showed immediate spasticity reduction and sustained range of motion improvement in a patient with subacute stroke. However, twice‐weekly sessions were insufficient for lasting spasticity control, suggesting that more frequent treatments may be required.

Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy against Cutibacterium acnes Implant-Associated Infections: An in Vitro Trial [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2020
Background: Antibiotic management of low-virulent implant-associated infections induced by Cutibacterium acnes may be compromised by multi-drug resistance development, side effects, and increased cost. Therefore, we sought to assess the effects of shock wave therapy against the above pathogen using an in vitro model of infection.

Experimental study of radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy for periprosthetic osteolysis induced by wear particles [PDF]

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (rESWT) is applied as a conservative treatment modality in orthopedics, yet its effectiveness in addressing aseptic loosening of cementless joint prostheses remains unclear. Through animal experimentation, we have revealed that in a titanium particle-induced osteolysis rat model, rESWT intervention significantly

Radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy for Dupuytren’scontracture: a case report [PDF]

Journal of Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences, 2021
Dupuytren’s contracture (DC) is a fibro-proliferative disorder of palmar and digital fascia, which leads to contracture deformity of hand and consequent disability. There is not a satisfying method for management of the disease and standard invasive treatments such as collagenase injection and fasciectomy have high rates of failure and recurrence ...

Quantitative Assessments of Mechanical Responses upon Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy [PDF]

Advanced Science, 2017
AbstractAlthough radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) has been widely used to treat orthopedic disorders with promising clinical results, rESWT largely relies on clinicians' personal experiences and arbitrary judgments, without knowing relationships between administration doses and effective doses at target sites.
