[Laser Doppler flowmetry in evaluating the effectiveness of magnetolaser exposure in patients with gonarthrosis]

The aim of the study was estimation of the effects of laser therapy on microcirculation in osteoarthritis with application of laser doppler flowmetry (LDF). A total of 20 patients were treated. 10 procedures of the laser therapy were performed (Mlada unit, 0.85 micron, 15 mV, 5 min). LDF proved informative in complex estimation of blood microcirculation and efficiency of laser therapy in patients with osteoarthritis.
