Establishment and Evaluation of Standardized Clinical, Biological and Imaging Parameters to Assess the Response of LDRT in Heel Spur With Plantar Fasciitis

The clinical picture of calcaneal spur with plantar fasciitis is a debilitating disease that is difficult to treat with conservative and interventional measures. Radiotherapy has shown very good therapeutic results in retrospective data, which need to be clinically confirmed both subjectively and in terms of image morphology in a prospective approach. Primary objective of the study: To demonstrate a clinical benefit of LDRT: improvement of pain, functionality and quality of life after LDRT

Comparison of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy and Whole Body Vibration Therapy in Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain that can lead to functional limitation and decreased quality of life. Various conservative treatment modalities are used in its management. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and whole body vibration therapy in patients with plantar fasciitis. The study is designed as a randomized, prospective, single-blind clinical trial. Clinical outcomes will be evaluated using pain and functional assessment scales before and after treatment.

Evaluation Of Balance And Ankle Proprioception In Calcaneal Spur Patients

this study will be conducted to investigate the difference in balance and ankle proprioception between calcaneus spur patients and age matched normal subjects

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy Versus High Power LASER Therapy for the Treatment of Females With Calcaneal Spur

PURPOSE: To compare the effect of Extracorporeal shock wave therapy and high-power LASER therapy for the treatment of patients with calcaneal spur Background: Calcaneal spur is a common musculoskeletal disorder of the foot that affect the quality-of-life Conservative treatment modalities include, cold application, platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP), shoe modification, therapeutic ultrasound, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), laser therapy (LLLT) are commonly used in the treatment of calcaneal spur. HYPOTHESES: There will be difference between Extracorporeal shock wave therapy and High- power LASER therapy on pain intensity in patients with calcaneal spur There will be difference between Extracorporeal shock wave therapy and High- power LASER therapy on function in patients with calcaneal spur. There will be difference between Extracorporeal shock wave therapy and High- power LASER therapy on the size of calcaneal spur in patients with calcaneal spur. RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there any difference between the effect of Extracorporeal shock wave therapy and High-power LASER on calcaneal spur?
