简要总结
This study aimed to compare the acute effects of focused and radial ESWT on pain and balance performance in individuals with plantar fasciitis.
详细描述
This study aimed to compare the acute effects of focused and radial ESWT on pain and balance performance in individuals with plantar fasciitis. The study included 40 individuals (27 females and 13 males) aged between 18 and 63 years, presenting with plantar fasciitis (PF). Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) was administered once a week for four weeks. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups (f-ESWT and r-ESWT). Pain levels were assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale, while Static and Dynamic Balance were evaluated using the Biodex Balance System.
