Plantar Fascitis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison of the Effectiveness of Low-level Laser Therapy and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in terms of pain, disability, activity limitation, gait speed, and cadence in patients with plantar fasciitis (PF).

Primary | Foot Function Index (FFI) | FFI is a valid and reliable self-administered questionnaire that can evaluate the pain, activity limitation, and disability caused by foot and ankle disorders. A modified version of the Foot Function Questionnaire developed by Venditto et al. will be used for the study, which comprises 17 items (17-IFFI) separated into three subscales; pain (5 items), disability (9 items), and activity limitation (3 items). The VAS in the original version has been substituted with the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) which is an 11-point scale from 0 to 10. The modified version of FFI has been reported to be a reliable and valid scale and its use has been recommended for musculoskeletal foot and ankle disorders including plantar fasciitis. | It will be reported at baseline | |

Primary | Gait Speed | Patients will be instructed to walk a 25 meters corridor back and forth for 4 times (100 m total). Patients will be instructed to walk as quickly as possible but running will not be allowed. The subjects walking time will be recorded in seconds. Gait speed will be measured by dividing the 100 meters distance by the patients' walking time. | It will be reported at baseline (5 minutes after the FFI) | |

Patients will be instructed to walk as quickly as possible but running will not be allowed. Cadence will be measured by the number of steps in the walking test. | It will be reported at baseline (5 minutes after the FFI) | |
