Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave
Treatment procedure will be initiated by palpation to locate the painful area around the lateral femoral condyle and the lateral side of the thigh. The therapist uses the principle of clinical focusing where the patient guides the therapist to the most painful area. The area will be treated in a circumferential pattern, starting at the point of maximum pain. At each of the session a total of 4600 pulses will be applied. RESWT will start with 500 pulses at (2 Bar) with the frequency of 15 Hz to the lateral femoral condyle to adjust to treatment.An additional 2000 pulses will be applied at (2- 4 Bar), 15 Hz, depending on pain tolerance. in addition,stretching exercise, manual therapy, and ultrasound on the iliotibial band.
traditional therapy
the patients will receive traditional therapy in the form of stretching exercise, manual therapy and ultrasound on iliotibial band.
