Filter by: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.
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
The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of local ozone injection and dextrose prolotherapy applications on pain and foot functions to compare the efficacy and to evaluate the thickness of the plantar fascia.
Both shock wave therapy and low level laser therapy in plantar fasciitis are effective in improvement of such cases without any side effects but there are no previously published studies on the use of shock wave therapy versus low level laser therapy in plantar fasciitis and, hence, evidence of its acceptability and effectiveness compared with each other remains to be established.
The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of j stroke myofascial release on planter fascia versus ischemic release on gastrocnemius in patients with planter fasciitis.
The aim of the present study will be the implementation of two protocols in plantar fasciitis individuals: a) percutaneous neuromodulation, b) percutaneous electrolysis in plantar fascia. Authors hypothesized that percutaneous neuromodulation may have benefits in: pain, quality of life, muscular structure.
Aim of this study is to compare the effects of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization on gastrocnemius and Achilles tendon on pain,range of motion and foot disability.A randomized control trial that will include total 32 participants and divided into two groups.Patients in Group A will receive instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization of gastrocnemius and Group B will receive instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization of Achilles tendon. While conventional therapy will be given to both groups.Data collected will be analyzed through SPSS 25.
It was aimed to compare the pain and functional results of ESWT, kinesiotherapy and corticosteroid injection in patients with treatment-resistant plantar fasciitis.
The main objective of this study is to compare the effects of Instrument Assisted soft tissue mobilization and kinesiology taping on the pain, disability and range of motion of the patients and to compare the cost-effectiveness of both these treatment approaches. RCT done at health professionals, Life Care International hospital, and railway general hospital. The sample size was 36. Patients diagnosed with plantar fasciitis were randomized into 2 groups i.e., Group A and Group B with the help of non-probability convenience sampling. Both groups had received conventional Physiotherapy interventions (Stretching, Manual therapy, exercise therapy and home exercise plane.) along with specific techniques. The patients in group A had received Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) and patients in group B had received treatment with kinesiology taping. The total duration of study was about 4 weeks. The patients had received 3 sessions per week for a period of 4 weeks and the outcomes were evaluated at baseline (first session), second assessment at the end of 2nd week and 3rd assessment at the end of 4th week. Only obese patients aged between 25-65 years were included in the study and were assessed upon the scoring of foot function index. Data will be analysed with the help of SPSS version 21.
to compare the effects of massage gun and transverse friction massage on management of pain and disability in patients with plantar fasciitis.
