Official Title: The Effectiveness of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy for Patients With Plantar Fasciitis Who Satisfy a Clinical Prediction Rule
Brief Summary: Radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) has been previously demonstrated as an efficient treatment option for heel pain associated with chronic proximal plantar fasciitis when administered in three sessions. The present study tested the hypothesis that heel pain associated with chronic proximal plantar fasciitis can also be treated successfully with rESWT when only two treatment sessions are performed.
