Extracorporeal shock wave therapy for treatment of plantar fasciitis.
OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of extracorporeal shock wave therapy in patients with chronic plantar faciitis. METHODS The prospective study was conducted at Department of Orhopaedic, Regional Hospital, Limerick, Ireland from January to December 2004 and comprised 70 heels in 62 patients with chronic plantar fasciitis in whom conventional conservative treatment consisting of non-steroidal an...
متن کاملElectrohydraulic high-energy shock-wave treatment for chronic plantar fasciitis.
BACKGROUND Plantar fasciitis is a common foot disorder that may be resistant to nonoperative treatment. This study evaluated the use of electrohydraulic high-energy shock waves in patients who failed to respond to a minimum of six months of antecedent nonoperative treatment. METHODS A randomized, placebo-controlled, multiply blinded, crossover study was conducted. Phase 1 consisted of twenty ...
متن کاملExtracorporeal shock wave treatment for chronic plantar fasciitis.
(1) Electrohydraulic, electromagnetic, or piezoelectric devices are used to translate energy into acoustic waves during extracorporeal shock wave treatment (ESWT) for chronic plantar fasciitis (or heel pain). These waves may help to accelerate the healing process via an unknown mechanism. (2) ESWT, which is performed as an outpatient procedure, is intended to alleviate the pain due to chronic p...
متن کاملUltrasonographic evaluation in plantar fasciitis.
The heels of 23 patients who were diagnosed with unilateral/bilateral plantar fasciitis were evaluated via ultrasonography and compared with their asymptomatic feet and a control group of 23 people. Plantar fascial thickness, echogenity, and heel pad thickness were evaluated, and the results were statistically analyzed. For symptomatic feet, increased thickness of the fascia and reduced echogen...
متن کاملExtra-corporeal shock wave lithotripsy.
Extra-corporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has proved to be a revolutionary advance in the treatment of renal stone disease. It, itself, is non-invasive but may necessitate or be used as an adjunct to more invasive auxiliary procedures. The basic principles of lithotripsy, the clinical experience thus far and probable future applications are discussed.
