The Effect of Microwave Therapy on Muscle Blood Flow
Full Title
The Effect of Microwave Therapy Upon Muscle Blood Flow in Man
Summary
This study measured muscle blood flow using a radioactive tracer technique in five healthy subjects. Researchers found that microwave therapy at 2450 MHz significantly increased muscle blood flow compared to resting values. The mean blood flow increased from 2.9 ml/100g/min at rest to 11.4 ml/100g/min during microwave therapy. The study concluded that microwave therapy has a greater effect on muscle blood flow than other therapeutic modalities, highlighting its potential benefits for tissue perfusion and recovery.
