Watch Time: 27 mins.
In this on-demand webinar, Director of Clinical Education at Enovis™, Mark Callanen, PT, DPT, OCS introduces a session focused on radial pressure wave (RPW) treatment for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients. The webinar features an interview with David Levine, PT, PhD, DPT, MPH, CCRP, FAPTA – a physical therapist, educator, and researcher at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga – who has extensive experience with laser and shockwave therapies.
This webinar offers a unique perspective from both a clinician and patient point of view on RPW treatment. Dr. Levine details how he takes care to avoid treating over metal implants with RPW on his TKA patients as well as how he adjusts treatment intensity for patient comfort. Dr. Levine also shares a case study of a middle-aged male patient with a TKA who experienced significant pain relief and improved range of motion after RPW treatments. Attendees will also hear from the patient at the center of the case study and how his experience with RPW treatment improved his quality of life.
