Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy Accelerates Regeneration After Acute Skeletal Muscle Injury.
RatChemical/toxinSprague-DawleyMalen = 5 groups with at least 6 animals per groupTranscutaneous application to the injured muscle1 day after injury
Model: Cardiotoxin-induced acute injury of the quadriceps femoris muscle
Regenerating fibre size and myonuclear content were significantly greater in shock wave treated muscle at both 4 and 7 days, with higher satellite cell content and myogenic regulatory factor expression. Mitotic activity at 4 days was doubled compared with untreated injured muscle.
