简要总结
This study compares the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injections (USG-CSI) and dextrose prolotherapy (DPT) in treating chronic plantar fasciitis. In addition to assessing pain relief and functional improvement, the study examines how each therapy affects foot biomechanics, including weight distribution and gait patterns. By analyzing these biomechanical changes, the research aims to determine which treatment offers better long-term outcomes in symptom management and the restoration of normal walking function.
