In Vitro Evaluation of Therapeutic Laser Treatment on Equine Tendon Fibroblasts

Creator:

Husby, Kirsty A.

Abstract:

Previous investigations have failed to show benefits of low level laser therapy (LLLT) for tendon healing in horses, contrary to reports in other species. We hypothesized that delivery of LLLT at manufacturer-recommended energy fluence through equine cadaver skin to equine tendon-derived fibroblasts in vitro would increase cell proliferation, metabolic activity...
