Summary:The effect of a 50 MHz extremely low frequency (ELF) pulsing magnetic field (PMF) on soft tissue injuries is examined. Fifty healthy subjects with injuries on their triceps sureii muscle participated in the study. An algometer was used to determine muscle tenderness and blood tests were performed to determine the presence of Creatinine Kinase. It was shown that ELF-PMF may facilitate the repair of soft tissue injuries.
