Shock Wave Therapy Lecture

A wave generated from mild disturbances and carries minimal energy

A mechanical wave of small amplitude propagating at subsonic velocity

A type of acoustic wave with amplitude-independent wave velocity

A mechanical wave of large amplitude propagating at supersonic velocity (correct)

More invasive procedure with higher risk of complications

Fewer potential complications and a faster return to normal activity (correct)

Similar potential complications but less pain post-surgery

Longer recovery time and higher success rate

Acoustic waves arise from sharp and violent disturbances, unlike shock waves

Shock waves are characterized by amplitude-dependent wave velocity, unlike acoustic waves (correct)

Shock waves carry minimal energy compared to acoustic waves

Acoustic waves propagate at supersonic velocity, unlike shock waves
