“…In the case of Vasquez et al [18], after the continuous application of US administration, hypertrophy in the gastrocnemius muscle fibers was found to be excessive; it has to be used in pulsed, focused modes to minimize the damage to the surrounding tissues. Montomery et al [19] have concluded that 20 min at 3.3 MHz, 1.5 w / cm 2 density can be used for therapeutic purposes without heating up. There are only a few human studies about the effect of the US on muscle tissue.…”

İn this report we compare the effect of therapeutic ultrasonic heating with exercise-heating on the gastrocnemius / soleus muscles by quantitative measurements of ultrasound elastography. Methods: İt is designed as a single blind experimental clinical study. Fourty (40) healthy male patients aged between 19-23 years were included randomly in the study. To the first group, we applied a continuous wave therapeutic US on both calfs (symmetrically) consisting gastrocnemius / soleus muscle groups at a frequency of 3 Mhz, 2 w / cm 2 dose, for 6 minutes. To the second group, we applied a 15-minute jogging exercise program. Bilateral, symmetric measurements were made in the first 5 minutes with a wide band linear probe, US elastography before and after application.Results: A statistically significant decrease in ultrasound elastography strain value (UESV) after therapeutic US in gastrocnemius / soleus muscle groups was observed (p < 0.001 / p < 0.001). There was no statistically significant change in UESV in the gastrocnemius / soleus muscle groups in the jogging group (p = 0.792 / p =0.187). When the percentages of ultrasound elastography strain ratio (UESR) were examined, there was a significant difference in the change of percentages in the gastrocnemius / soleus muscle groups in both groups (p = 0.005/ p = 0.001). According to this, in both muscle groups, the elasticity increased and the stiffness decreased in group 1 and in group 2, the stiffness increased in some cases and decreased in some, and in overall it was observed to increase. Conclusion: Therapeutic US-heating is an effective, reliable method that generally increases elasticity and reduces stiffness in calf muscles than exercise-heating.

“…However, at the same settings of 3.3 MHz and 1.0 W/cm 2 , there is no change in temperature detected in the epaxial muscles along the spine. 31 In canines, a study looked at Achilles tendon injuries and found that those dogs treated with therapeutic ultrasound (0.5 W/cm 2 ) had improved tendon healing and their return to soundness was more rapid compared with those without therapeutic ultrasound. 32 Therapeutic ultrasound has also been tested in the treatment of induced septic arthritis in donkeys, and those treated with ultrasound therapy had less changes to the joint capsule, synovium, and articular cartilage.…”

“…Devido ao fato de os tecidos dos mamíferos variarem em estrutura, as propriedades térmicas e acústicas dos tecidos diferem entre as espécies. Portanto, é bem provável que o grau de variação de temperatura atingido do tecido, utilizandose um determinado protocolo de US terapêutico, varie entre as espécies (MONTGOMERY et al, 2013). Deve-se levar em consideração o tecido a ser tratado, se tem maior ou menor quantidade de tecido adiposo cobrindo o músculo ou áreas com proeminências ósseas.…”

RESUMOA termoterapia é uma modalidade terapêutica que emprega diferentes métodos que utilizam o frio e/ou o calor para o tratamento de doenças ou traumas. Apesar de ser bastante difundida na Medicina Veterinária, é possível constatar que muitos protocolos de tratamento são empíricos ou extrapolados de resultados de pesquisas em humanos. Poucos estudos sobre as respostas às diferentes modalidades de termoterapia foram conduzidos em cães. A aplicação do frio ou crioterapia é indicada para reduzir os sinais da inflamação aguda. A utilização do calor é um dos procedimentos terapêuticos mais antigos, sendo uma terapia adjuvante na analgesia e no aumento de oxigenação tecidual local e da extensibilidade do tecido conjuntivo. Agentes de aquecimento superficial podem penetrar até 2cm de profundidade, enquanto que o calor profundo até 5cm. O calor superficial pode ser aplicado através de compressas ou bolsas quentes, água morna e cobertores ou colchões aquecidos. Já o calor profundo vem sendo utilizado através da aplicação do ultrassom terapêutico. Um dos objetivos mais importantes de qualquer programa de reabilitação é alcançar uma completa amplitude de movimento. Técnicas de mobilização para tentar melhorar a condição muscular e a movimentação articular podem ser utilizadas, porém, está indicado o aquecimento prévio dos tecidos envolvidos. A termografia de infravermelho é um recurso de diagnóstico por imagem emergente indicada para aferir as variações térmicas de superfícies, podendo ser utilizada no monitoramento do aquecimento ou resfriamento superficial relacionados à utilização das modalidades de termoterapia.

Muscle and Tendon Heating Rates with Therapeutic Ultrasound in Horses

Abstract: The SDFT and DDFT are heated to a therapeutic temperature using a frequency of 3.3 MHz and intensity of 1.0 W/cm(2). The epaxial muscles are not heated to a therapeutic temperature using a frequency of 3.3 MHz and an intensity of 1.5 W/cm(2).
