- Abstract
Physical therapy has an important role in soft tissue repair process, for improving its quality and velocity. The purpose of this work was to analyze the effects of sonic wave's application in soft tissue repair process in animals. Twelve albino female wistar rattus norvegicus, 250-300 g, were used. The animals were divided into 4 groups (n = 3). One was considered Control Group. The Group I received 3 treatments, the Group II 7 and the Group III 10 sessions of sonic waves at 3333,33 Hz during 5 minutes. The results were obtained by a morphologic analysis of histological samples with an optic microscope. The presence or not of chronic and acute inflammation, epithelium formation, granulation tissue, repaired soft tissue, crust, wound closure, and necrosis were analyzed. The obtained data show that the treatments groups reach faster soft tissue reparation and a better quality in relation with the control group. More researches are necessary to corroborate the sonic wave's low frequency effects on repair process.
