Effect of nonablative laser energy on the joint capsule: an in vivo rabbit study using a holmium:YAG laser.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:There are some indications that low-level laser therapy (LLLT) may delay the development of skeletal muscle fatigue during high-intensity exercise. There have also been claims that LED cluster probes may be effective for this application however there are differences between LED and laser sour...
