Healing Rate of Chronic and Subacute Lower Extremity Ulcers Treated With Contact Ultrasound Followed by Noncontact Ultrasound Therapy: The VIP Ultrasound Protocol.

The results seem to favor an earlier start of the protocol for best outcomes and indicate that contact and noncontact ultrasound therapies are not exclusionary but rather complementary.
