Effects of Neural Gliding Addes to ESWT and Standard Exercise in Plantar Fasciitis
Sponsor: Ankara Yildirim Beyazıt University
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.
