Filter by:Shulman fasciitis or eosinophilic fasciitis (EF) is a rare inflammatory disease, usually benign but disabling, described by Shulman in 1974. The diagnosis is suggested by the clinic, confirmed by MRI and confirmed by histology, there really no published diagnostic criteria validated for this rare disease. The low number of cases reported in the literature reflects the difficulty of studying the epidemiology of this disease, to establish and evaluate therapeutic strategies and to assess prognosis. Work on this subject are few. To our knowledge, no study has previously used to estimate the incidence and prevalence of this disease. Therefore, the investigators want to determine the prevalence of FEs in Alsace in 2016 by a study "capture-recapture" using several independent sources of identification of cases in order to have recent epidemiological data and learn more about this disease.
Radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) has been previously demonstrated as an efficient treatment option for heel pain associated with chronic proximal plantar fasciitis when administered in three sessions. The present study tested the hypothesis that heel pain associated with chronic proximal plantar fasciitis can also be treated successfully with rESWT when only two treatment sessions are performed.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Therapeutic Ultrasound is effective in the treatment of Plantar fasciitis (PF).
A Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial Comparing Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy with Platelet Rich Plasma versus Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in a High Demand Cohort with Resistant Plantar Fasciitis
The purpose of this study is to determine if dry needling both low back and extremity areas is more effective for reducing pain and improving strength, balance and functional performance among patients with chronic musculoskeletal conditions compared to dry needling of extremity areas only.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of manual therapy and of manual therapy associated with hip strengthening in the recovery of patients with heel pain. Heel pain decreases function, balance, walking and can cause change in the movement pattern. This alterations can induce a deficit in motor control of other structures as knee and hip. There is an importance to compare the effects of manual therapy and manual therapy associated with hip strengthening on the recover of patients with heel pain.
To check in patients suffering from chronic plantar fasciitis treated with shock wave therapy, if the outward appearance of the device affects clinical outcomes.
To assess whether the provision of a tension night splint (TNS) device has any additional benefit in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis, compared to routine care comprising physiotherapy & podiatry alone.
To investigate whether a procedure of ultrasound-guided autologous blood injections (ABI), which includes a dry-needling component within the overall procedure, has any measureable clinical benefit over ultrasound-guided dry needling alone in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of collagen injection in patients with plantar fasciitis
