Fractal dimension in the evaluation of different treatments of muscular injury in rats

Abstract: Objectives: To evaluate alterations from different therapies in muscular injury using the Fractal Dimension (FD) method. Methods: 35 animals were allocated in Control Group (C), Injury Control Group (IC), Injury Low Level Laser Therapy Group (ILT), Injury Platelet Rich Plasma Group (IP), and Injury LLLT and PRP Group (ILP). The animals suffered a stretch injury in gastrocnemius muscle and after that IP and ILP groups received PRP application. The ILT and ILP groups received daily LLLT applications for seven da… Show more

“…In 1975, the mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot defined the concept of fractals as a semi-geometric element with a repetitive structure at different scales [1], with characteristics of self-similarity as seen in some natural formations such as snowflakes, ferns, peacock feathers, and Romanesque broccoli. Fractal theory has been applied to various fields such as biology [15,8], health sciences [3,13,12,5,11], stock markets [10], network communications [7,9,18], and others. Fractal theory is one of the methods used to analyze data and obtain relevant information in highly complex problems.…”
