No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Extracoporeal shock wave therapy(ESWT) was perfomed on the plantar fascia of chornic plantar fasciitis patients. Pre-ESWT and post-ESWT pain intensity, sonography and sonoelastrography of the plantar fascia was checked. Our hypothesis is that the plantar fascia stiffness increased after ESWT as clinical symptom improves.
