No full textBackground Muscles Contractures are an important part of multifactorial etiology of chronic pain. MAM® is an acoustic waves device modulated in power and frequency (0-50 Hz, 0-5 Bar) for treatment of muscular contractures. If the treatment of the chronic muscular contractures with MAM® can improve quality life in elderly. Materials and methods We have analyzed the results of a comprehensive examination of 5 over 60 age patients (Group 1: aged 76+/-5,2 years) and 5 control over 60 age patients (Group 2; aged 74+/-2,2 years). Every group was studied with a manual objective examination of the skeletal muscle apparatus to find perceived and evoked contractures reported on a paper map support. This map allows to transfer with accuracy to the physiotherapist which are the points on which he must make MAM® treatment.(Group 1: contractures 22,8 +/-1,47 ; Group 2: contractures 23,4 +/-2,03). To each group was given a BPI-sf (Brief Pain Inventory) to have a review of quality life the first day of examination and at the last day of treatment. Group 1 was treated with an acoustic wave modulator device (MAM®) , once a week, for four weeks. Each point was treated three times every sitting (16 sec for point). Group 2 was not treated Results We have observed in Group 1 a reduction of contracture points after IV treatment with MAM® and an improvement of quality life value with BPI test taking average of all the averages of VAS respect Group two, as shown in Table 1 and Figure 1. Conclusions Treatment of chronic muscular pain with acoustic MAM® device reduces VAS value in BPI from 5,8+/-3,46 to 0,5+/-0,93, reduces of 70% muscular contractures and improve quality life in elderly
