简要总结
Extracorporeal Shockwave (ESW) is a popular, non-invasive approach that arisen in line to stimulate healing via acoustic waves targeting lesion site i.e., planter fasciitis. Therefore, current clinical trial targets to determine the long-term effectiveness of ESW on Calcaneal spur in terms of quality of life, functional, and clinical manifestations, as well addressing real barriers for ESW approach among whom diagnosed with planter fasciitis.
详细描述
Worldwide ESW protocol parameters' discrepancy still a research gap, mainly in terms of calcaneal spur i.e., sessions' number, applications' parameters. Therefore, current clinical trial was conducted to address the effectiveness of ESW on planter fasciitis on long-term, plus identifying the real barriers addressed by sufferers.
