Clinical effectiveness of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy as an adjunct treatment to eccentric exercise for Achilles tendinopathy: a randomised controlled trial
Abstract Background The Achilles tendon is the largest and strongest tendon in the human body. Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is a common clinical problem with Achilles…
Prospects of magnetically based approaches addressing inflammation in tendon tissues
Abstract Tendon afflictions constitute a significant share of musculoskeletal diseases and represent a primary cause of incapacity worldwide. Unresolved/chronic inflammatory states have been associated with…
Pulsed magnetic field therapy increases tensile strength in a rat Achilles’ tendon repair model
Abstract PURPOSE: To examine the effect of pulsing electromagnetic fields on the biomechanic strength of rat Achilles’ tendons at 3 weeks after transection and repair.…
The effect of pulsed electromagnetic fields on flexor tendon healing in chickens
Abstract This study was designed as a pilot investigation of the effect of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) stimulation on early flexor tendon healing in a…
Pulsed magnetic and electromagnetic fields in experimental achilles tendonitis in the rat: a prospective randomized study [Spanish]
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of pulsed magnetic fields (PMF) and pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) on healing in experimental Achilles tendon inflammation in the…
In vitro functional response of human tendon cells to different dosages of low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field
Abstract PURPOSE: Chronic tendinopathy is a degenerative process causing pain and disability. Current treatments include biophysical therapies, such as pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF). The aim…
