The Efficiency of Multiple Impulse Therapy for Musculoskeletal Complaints

Comparison of response of patients classified as acute subacute and chronic for all complaints. Patients classified as acute had fewer members resistant to treatment than the subacute and chronic groups, although initial response rates were similar. These results were significant at the .001 level for the log-rank and the .014 level of the Wilcoxon formulations of χ².
