| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The effect of Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) on the treatment and prevention of joint contracture was examined from the histological aspect using experimental animals. LIPUS irradiation improved the narrowing of the spaces between the collagen fiber bundles of the posterior joint capsule caused by immobilization and clarified the possibility that joint contracture is effective for treatment. On the other hand, there was no significant difference in the intervention results aimed at prevention of joint contracture and it was not possible to clarify the usefulness of LIPUS.
