Guest guest Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 , Laurie Edge- gave me the following information when I asked her about using pulsed U/S for stimulating healing of a bone fracture. I'll paste it below: Ultrasound: 0.03 †" 0.05W/cm2 pulsed (I’d go 50%) x 10 minutes minimum...could go for 20 minutes Laser (one paper in the literature) †" utilized 892 J/cm2! PEMF (a few studies using 1.5 Hz, 7.5Hz, 15Hz, 50Hz, and 100Hz †" utilized anywhere from 1 †" 8 hours a day! NMES †" place electrode 3 cm prox to fracture site and other electrode proximal to that... or another paper quotes using the cathode (negative or black electrode) at the site of the fracture and the other one ‘nearby’. Only one study gave parameters: 50usec (pulse width), 4Hz (rate), 20 sec on, 15 sec off, with a 5 sec ramp x 1hr/day. > > Does anyone have any parameters or links to research on using therapeutic > ultrasound and/or laser to stimulate bone growth in a fracture? > > Any insight will be appreciated. > > Thanks!

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 , I'm going to try and paste that again as it didn't come out very clear: Hi , I certainly do have info for you: Ultrasound: 0.03 – 0.05W/cm2 pulsed (I'd go 50%) x 10 minutes minimum...could go for 20 minutes Laser (one paper in the literature) – utilized 892 J/cm2! PEMF (a few studies using 1.5 Hz, 7.5Hz, 15Hz, 50Hz, and 100Hz – utilized anywhere from 1 – 8 hours a day!

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 There is significant studies on low level specific wave form microcurrent research by Dr. Becker, MD in his book Body Electric and other references in the attached published in the Journal of Equine Veterinary Science 2005.
