WHY CHOOSE RPW TO TREAT TENDONS IN THE KNEE, ANKLE, AND FOOT? ARE THERE ANY OTHER BENEFITS OF USING RPW VS FSW EQUIPMENT?
It has been well established that treating most tendon related conditions between 0.08 mJ/mm 2 and 0.28 mJ/mm 2 is desirable. 9 When treating tendons in the lower leg, radial pressure wave technology can easily generate the required level of energy to impact these superficial tissues. The chart below highlights the specific performance characteristics of the Di15 attachment listed previously. The Y axis indicates depth of penetration in cm from the skin’s surface, where the X axis indicates the bar pressure applied. (The far right column indicates the bar pressure required to deliver a minimally effective dose at a given depth 0.1 mJ/mm 2 ) This chart demonstrates how the RPW can reach tissues as deep as 6 cm when the Di15 transmitter is utilized at 5 bar of pressure.
