The Clinical Utility of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy on Burns

ESWT was conducted using the Duolith SD-1® device (StorzMedical, Tägerwilen, Switzerland) with an electromagnetic cylindrical coil source for the focused shock wave (Fig. 2). ESWT was performed around the primary treatment site at 100 impulses/cm2, an energy flux density(EFD) of 0.05 to 0.30 mJ/mm2, frequency of 4Hz, and 1000 to 2000 impulses were administered at 1-week intervals for 4 sessions.

Standard accupational therapy consist of range of motion exercise, strengthening exercises, and activities of daily living exercises
