GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVICE | PAGE 5 OF 38

1.2 SHOCKWAVE AND ITS CHARACTER

A shockwave is defined as a wave with a rapid increase of pressure within a very short time and then having a gradual decrease of pressure with a small negative pressure phase.

Shockwaves are aimed at the affected areas that are the source of chronic pain. The influence of the shockwaves causes to the dissolution of calcium deposits and leads to better vascularization. The after-effect is relief from the pain.

Outside of the client’s body (extra-corporeally), a pressure pulse of high amplitude is generated and its energy is concentrated on the target area. The pressure pulse travels through a liquid medium gel into the client’s body and penetrates soft tissue without major energy loss.

The pressure course of the shockwave in real-time in expressively different from the pressure course of the harmonic sound wave. Shockwaves can be compared to ultrasonic waves which are particularly characterized by a pressure jump change, a higher amplitude and non-periodicity.

In the shockwave, the positive amplitude is generally much larger than the negative amplitude. The frequency rate of the shockwaves is usually low (in Hz units) and the eventual cavitation (the disturbance of material consistency and the development of cavities) will relax. Consequently, there is no threat of energy absorption in the cavitations as is the case with continuous ultrasound.

A substantial part of the shockwave energy penetrates into the liquid (of the organism) with a great positive pressure pulse. Its diffusion is only limited by the actual tissue absorption and eventual reflections on acoustic non-homogeneities.

A shockwave is defined as a pressure pulse with these characteristics:

∙High positive pressure amplitude: 10 to 1000 MPa = 100 to 1000 Bar (100x atmospheric pressure)

∙Low negative pressure amplitude: 1 to 10 MPa

∙Short time duration: 1 µs to 20 µs

∙Rapid pressure increase: < 100 ns

∙Broad frequency spectrum: 1 Hz to 1 MHz

For therapeutic applications, these values are lower, especially the maximum pressure amplitude. The maximum pressure amplitude is about 15 MPa, the pulse length is 10 to 20 µs, and the frequency of the applied shockwave is 1 to 15Hz. The treatment is generally carried out without local anaesthesia and lasts about 15 to 30 minutes. During the first week after treatment, the client should avoid all physical activities that could excessively strain the treated area.

1.3 SHOCKWAVE GENERATION

Several types of generators have been developed for shockwave therapy, each producing shockwaves with varied characteristics. Each type of generation method induces shockwaves with different time progressions and spatial arrangements.

The BTL-6000 SWT Topline uses the ballistic principle of shockwave generation.

1.3.1BALLISTIC PRINCIPLE OF SHOCKWAVE GENERATION

A pressure wave is formed via a projectile by using accelerated compressed air. The compressed air is generated by an electronically-controlled ballistic-pressure compressor. Using elastic impact, the kinetic energy of the projectile is transferred into the probe of the applicator and then into the client’s body. Consequently, during the treatment, the end of the applicator must be in direct -contact with the skin and subcutaneous tissue.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVICE | PAGE 6 OF 38

1.4 BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF SHOCKWAVE TREATMENT

The effects of the shockwaves mainly occur at sites where there is a change in impedance, such as the bone-soft tissue interface.

There is an improvement in the regeneration and repair of tissues in the following areas and the achievement of the following effects:

∙Cellular: Increase in cell membrane transmittance by improving ionic channels activity, stimulation of cell division, stimulation of cellular cytokines production.

∙Reproduction of vessels in the area of tendons and muscles: Improvement of blood circulation and MTB, increase in concentration of growth factor beta 1, chemotactic and mitogenic effect on osteoblasts.

∙Effect on nitrogen oxide system: Bone healing and re-modelling.

∙Improvement of micro-circulation and metabolism

∙Dissolution of calcified fibroblasts

∙Supports the production of collagen

∙Reduction in tissue tension

∙Analgesic effect:

o Destruction of afferent nerves and nerve receptors.

o CNS stimulants, sensed as pain, are also inflammation transmitter substances. o Regression of pain caused by local ischemia.

oGate control theory of pain.

1.5ADVANTAGES OF SHOCKWAVE TREATMENT

∙By the targeted application of the shockwaves, stress to the surrounding tissues is quite insignificant.

∙The body is not burdened by pharmaceuticals, except the short-term effect of local anaesthesia, if used.

∙The possibility of preventing the necessity of surgical intervention and its relevant hazards.

∙Thanks to ambulatory treatment, work absences are reduced to a minimum. Additionally, training routine absences for sport athletes is likewise reduced.

∙For some indications, such as Tennis Elbow, there is really no other effective treatment.

1.6POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS OF SHOCKWAVE TREATMENT

∙Erythema or swelling can temporarily occur in the treated area.

∙Loss of bodily sensation or itching can temporarily occur in the treated area

∙Hematoma

∙Petechiae

∙Skin damage after previous corticoid therapy

∙Shockwave application can cause undesirable heart activity
