NPRS0–10:
HPLT ↓61% (p≤0.001); Conventional ↓41% (p≤0.001).
Between-group: HPLT better (p≤0.001). |
IPT (isokinetic
peak torque): HPLT ↑13% (p=0.028); Conventional +1.5% (NS);
between-group NS (p=0.113). |
RTS NR. |
Not assessed. |
No AEs;
short protocol; compliance implied high. |
AE: adverse event; VAS0–10: visual analogue scale 0–10; HPLT: high-power laser therapy; IPT: isokinetic peak torque.
