Device typeElectromechanical orthopaedic extracorporeal shock wave therapy system: An assembly of devices designed to provide electromechanical orthopaedic extracorporeal shock wave therapy (OEST) to treat musculoskeletal disorders. It is typically portable and includes a control unit that uses an electrical current to create kinetic energy (e.g., with a coil gun) which is transferred to a patient's body upon contact (e.g., with a hand-held surface applicator) to produce mechanical shock waves at selected amplitudes and frequencies. It is used to treat soft-tissue pain and inflammation near bones, disorders such as tendinopathies and lateral/medial epicondylitis, and to stimulate osteogenesis.
