Theoretically proposed optimal frequency for ultrasound induced cartilage restoration

Theoretically proposed optimal frequency for ultrasound induced cartilage restoration

Abstract Background Matching the frequency of the driving force to that of the system’s natural frequency of vibration results in greater amplitude response. Thus we hypothesize that applying ultrasound at the chondrocyte’s resonant frequency will result in greater deformation than applying similar...
