What is the definition of shock wave?
What is the definition of shock wave?
- 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)
What are the advantages of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) over traditional surgical methods?
What are the advantages of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) over traditional surgical methods?
- 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
How does a shock wave differ from an acoustic wave?
How does a shock wave differ from an acoustic wave?
- 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
