Brief Summary:
Painful bone spur is one of the causes of residual limb pain in individuals with traumatic lower extremity amputation and can be a significant problem in rehabilitation clinics. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) on pain and size of bone spur in traumatic transfemoral amputees with painful bone spur. Twenty nine traumatic transfemoral amputees who had painful spur were randomized into two groups: Group 1 (ESWT + therapeutic exercise) and Group 2 (sham ESWT + therapeutic exercise). The visual analog scale for pain felt in the stump at rest and during walking with the prosthesis, the lower extremity functional scale, Houghton scale, Locomotor capacity index, and radiologically determined bone spur size were used as outcome measures. All participants were evaluated before, 4 weeks after, and 12 weeks after ESWT/sham ESWT application.
