Application of ultrasound to nerve injuries.
An exemplary ulnar nerve injury is shown on the left arm. Distal to the nerve injury, first Wallerian degeneration takes place and subsequent regeneration after successful nerve reconstruction. To support both the injury and proliferative phase, the ultrasound transducer is applied in the course of the nerve, from the injury site to the distal muscle targets for 10 minutes a day.
