Hypothesis: The combination of extracorporeal shockwave and a daily gluteal muscle strength programme is superior to the gluteal muscle strength programme alone in cellulite.
Study design: Randomized-controlled trial
Analysis: Intention-to-treat
Outcome parameters: a) Photo, b) Nürnberger Score, c) circumference measurements, d) capillary blood flow, e) tissue oxygen saturation, f) postcapillary venous blood flow
Intervention: Extracorporeal shock wave for six sessions with 2000 impulses at both gluteal and thigh regions plus a specific gluteal strength exercise training
Follow-up: 12 weeks
