Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness (how well it works) of a new experimental ultrasound bath device that uses low frequency ultrasound (LFU) that may or may not help healing.

Conditions

  • Age Related Osteoporosis
  • Pain
  • Knee Joint Contracture

Interventions

DEVICE

Low Frequency Ultrasound Therapy

The ultrasound will be delivered at a frequency of 33 kHz at power levels of 4-10 Pascals with a program of 1.6 seconds on and 1.6 seconds off. The generators will be encased in epoxy within the Osteoarthritis baths. The intervention will be repeated on every second or third day to allow time for healing
