Summary

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain and may lead to pain, decreased foot function, impaired balance, and reduced quality of life. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy and exercise therapy are commonly used conservative treatment approaches. This randomized controlled study aims to investigate the additional effects of neural gliding exercises when combined with extracorporeal shock wave therapy and standard exercise treatment in individuals with plantar fasciitis.

Conditions

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy was applied once weekly for 5 weeks, with 2000 pulses per session.

BEHAVIORAL

Standard Exercise Program

Participants performed a standardized home exercise program twice daily for 5 weeks, 10 repetitions for each exercise session.

BEHAVIORAL

Neural Gliding Exercises

Participants performed neural gliding exercises as an adjunct to the standard exercise program for 5 weeks.
