Song, Y., Che, X., Wang, Z., Li, M., Zhang, R., Wang, D., & Shi, Q. (2024). Augmentation of rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction using radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT). BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 25(57). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-024-07177-8

This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effectiveness of radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) in enhancing rehabilitation outcomes for patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Seventy-two patients were assigned to receive either standard rehabilitation with rESWT or with sham rESWT, measuring outcomes such as pain, joint function, and mobility. Significant short-term improvements were noted in the rESWT group at 3 and 6 weeks, though no long-term differences were observed at 24 weeks. The findings suggest that rESWT may benefit early ACLR rehabilitation by reducing pain and improving function.

La terapia con ondas de choque extracorpóreas (ESWT) es una modalidad de tratamiento bien investigada y utilizada habitualmente para remediar diversos trastornos musculoesqueléticos. La combinación del tratamiento con láser de alta potencia de 905 nm y la ESWT puede aumentar el uso beneficioso de la ESWT en medicina física y de rehabilitación.

La terapia con onde d’urto extracorporee (ESWT) è stata oggetto di studi approfonditi ed è comunemente utilizzata nel trattamento di vari disturbi muscoloscheletrici. La combinazione del trattamento con laser ad alta potenza (905 nm) ed ESWT può aumentare i benefici di quest’ultima nella medicina fisica e riabilitativa.
