Filter by:The purpose of this study is : - to determine the effect of extracorporeal shockwave on pain intensity in patients with plantar fasciitis. - to determine the effect of extracorporeal shockwave on foot function in patients with plantar fasciitis. - to determine the effect of extracorporeal shockwave on gait parameters in patients with plantar fasciitis
this study will be conducted to investigate the effect of Graston Technique on Planter Thickness in Patients With Planter Fasciitis
This study aims to compare the efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided posterior tibial nerve pulsed radiofrequency (PTN PRF) and fluoroscopy (FL)-guided intralesional radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFT) for the treatment of painful calcaneal spur and plantar fasciitis refractory to conservative treatments. For this evaluation, a numerical rating (NRS) and the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle hindfoot scores will be used before and after both interventions.
this study will be conducted to investigate the efficacy of combining foam roller and gastrocnemius release on pain intensity level, dorsi flexion range of motion of ankle joint ,dorsi flexion range of motion of big toe and foot function in subjects with plantar fasciitis.
detailed changes after ultrasound guided cry for plantar fasciitis in regard pain score and plantar fascia AP diameter in ultrasound scan pre and 30 days post operation
Patients suffering from Plantar Fasciitis were randomized into three groups: the first group underwent infiltration of Collagen Hydrolyzed Peptides, the second one underwent the ESWT treatment, the third one underwent a combination of the two treatments.
The study is randomized and single -blinded. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah International university Lahore.Participants who will meet criteria will be requested to give verbal consent and to sign written consent form. After signing consent form participants will be allocated to the group A and Group B by using computerized generated randomization. Group A will receive ultrasound then Active release technique while group B will receive ultrasound and Positional release technique for 4 weeks. Treatment sessions will be 12 sessions, 3 sessions per week on alternative days for 4 weeks
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of 8 weeks of foot rehabilitation exercises in conjunction with wearing minimalist shoes in individuals with plantar fasciopathy, compared to only performing foot rehabilitation exercises. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Will individuals with plantar fasciopathy be able to reduce their pain and improve their self-reported function by performing rehabilitation exercises and wearing minimalist shoes, compared to those only performing rehabilitation exercises? - Will individuals with plantar fasciopathy be able to increase their intrinsic foot muscle strength and size, their balance, and gait biomechanics by performing rehabilitation exercises and wearing minimalist shoes, compared to those only performing rehabilitation exercises? - What characteristics of individuals with plantar fasciopathy make them most suited to succeed in a protocol of performing rehabilitation exercises and wearing minimalist shoes? Participants will be asked to come into the lab at the start of the intervention and after 8 weeks, where the following will be assessed: - Patient-reported outcomes - Foot morphology - Intrinsic foot muscle strength - Balance - Gait biomechanics For the intervention, participants in both groups will perform the same rehabilitation exercises, including: - Massage to the bottom of the foot - Calf-raises - Calf and foot stretches
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a conservative treatment method that has been widely used in musculoskeletal diseases in recent years. Its mechanism is to provide hyperstimulation and vascularity increase with the help of acoustic waves focused on a specific area, thus accelerating healing and reducing pain. This method, which is frequently used in plantar fasciitis, is frequently applied to patients whose symptoms persist despite first-line treatment strategies. Ozone injections have been frequently used in musculoskeletal disorders in recent years and are mainly used in osteoarthritis, osteomyelitis, tendon, fascia and ligament injuries, vertebra and disc pathologies and neuropathic pain. Analgesic effect on musculoskeletal system (release of endorphins, activation of antinociceptive system, reduction of edema) anti-inflammatory effect (regulation of cytokine release, reduction of superoxide radicals, modulation of prostaglandin), regulation of local oxygenation and circulation, tissue repair (neutralization of preteolytic enzymes, fibroblast proliferation) and has an antimicrobial effect. Although it is also used in the treatment of plantar fasciitis, there are limited articles on this subject in the literature. In our study, it was aimed to compare the effectiveness of ESWT and ozone injection therapy, which are two treatment strategies with regenerative action mechanisms, in patients with resistant plantar fasciitis.
Patients with plantar fasciitis between the ages of 25-65 years who presented to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation clinic with the complaint of heel pain and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be included in the study. Demographic data (age, gender, body mass index, symptom duration) will be recorded at the beginning of the study. Then, Foot Functional Index (FFI) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scales will be recorded. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 will receive dry needling and Group 2 will receive extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT). Patients in the 1st group will undergo 3 sessions of dry needling with Seirin branded 0.6*50 mm acupuncture needles at one week intervals for the trigger point detected by manual palpation in the medial gastrocnemius, lateral gastrocnemius, soleus, flexor digitorum brevis, quadratus plantae, abductor hallucis brevis muscles. Patients in the 2nd group, Patients in this group received three sessions of ESWT (MASTERPLUS MP 200 ENERGY 2 trademarked ESWT device) at an energy density of 2 bars and a frequency of 2,000 shocks/min at 12 Hz for three weeks, each session once a week. Each of the five most sensitive and painful points was given 400 pulses in the supine position
