Interventions

RADIATION

laser therapy

performed by MLS® Laser Therapy (ASA Srl, Vicenza, Italy). It is designed to synchronize between two modules. One is emitting at 905 nm, with peak optical power = 25 W; each pulse is composed of a pulse train (single pulse width = 100 ns, maximum frequency 90 kHz). The frequency of the pulse trains varied between 1 and 2000 Hz. The other one is emitting at 808 nm in a continuous mode (power 1.1 W) or pulsed mode (pulses repetition rate 1-2000 Hz).

OTHER
