Infrared (810 nm) low-level laser therapy in experimental model of strain-induced skeletal muscle injury in rats: effects on functional outcomes.
RatOtherTranscutaneous laser irradiation of the injured muscle1, 3, 6 or 9 J per treatment1 h after injury
Model: Strain injury of the tibialis anterior muscle induced by overloading under anaesthesia
All doses except 9 J improved the walking index at 12 h relative to untreated animals, the 3 J dose was better than diclofenac, and all laser doses improved muscle performance at 6 and 12 h, making 3 J as effective as the pharmacological comparator.
