  • Pain

Interventions

DEVICE

Standard shock waves device

3 sessions were applied: one per week. Energy flux density 0,18 mJ/mm2. Frequency: 8 Hz. 2500 shockwaves/session. The shock waves emitted to the 3 devices are identical; the only difference is the external image of the device.

DEVICE

Austere shock waves device

3 sessions were applied: one per week. Energy flux density 0,18 mJ/mm2. Frequency: 8 Hz. 2500 shockwaves/session. The shock waves emitted to the 3 devices are identical; the only difference is the external image of the device.

DEVICE

Sophisticated shock waves device

3 sessions were applied: one per week. Energy flux density 0,18 mJ/mm2. Frequency: 8 Hz. 2500 shockwaves/session. The shock waves emitted to the 3 devices are identical; the only difference is the external image of the device.
