Abstract

Background The radial shockwaves are pneumatically generated and emitted at the tip of the applicator and coupled into the human tissue, up to a depth of up to 35mm. The effects on the tissue are: increasing of metabolic processes, antiphlogistic and vasodilatation effects and neoangiogenesis with correlate increase of the fluid transport.

Highlights

  • The radial shockwaves are pneumatically generated and emitted at the tip of the applicator and coupled into the human tissue, up to a depth of up to 35mm

  • Patients were treated for 10 sessions, 2.500 – 3.500 impulses each

  • Patients were evaluated 2 weeks and 1 month after treatment. They show an average decrease of the 26% of the circumference of the limb and a subjective and objective reduction of tissue consistence, above all in fibrotic areas
