简要总结
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of extracorporeal Shock wave therapy (ESWT) on functional activity and pain in patients with Achilles tendinopathy
详细描述
Fifty patients of both sexes with Achilles tendinopathy aged 18-40 years, were assigned randomly into two equal groups. The study group received ESWT in addition to a conservative physical therapy program for four weeks, while the control group received a conservative physical therapy program only. Pain and functional mobility were assessed before and after treatment through a visual analog scale (VAS) and Victorian Institute of sports assessment - Achilles questionnaire (VISA-A), respectively
