Brief Summary:
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of exercise combined with ESWT Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy exercise combined with MLS Multiwave Locked System laser therapy and exercise alone in female patients diagnosed with unilateral plantar fasciitis using Visual Analog Scale VAS Heel Tenderness Index HTI Foot and Ankle Outcome Score FAOS Foot Function Index FFI and fall risk as clinical parameters to assess any differences in effectiveness levels among these treatments
Detailed Description:
Plantar fasciitis PF is a prevalent condition characterized by the degeneration of the plantar fascia a band of connective tissue that originates from the calcaneus to the proximal phalanges and the skin of the foots anterior part Despite common misconceptions plantar fasciitis is not primarily an inflammatory process but results from repetitive microtears leading to a secondary inflammatory reaction of the plantar fascia
Despite the conditions self-limiting nature with 70 to 80 of patients experiencing symptom relief through conservative treatment alone a combination of treatments is often necessary for many Conservative interventions include rest cold application stretching and strengthening exercises orthotic devices lifestyle modifications weight loss and night splints Additionally non-invasive physical therapy modalities such as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy ESWT laser and ultrasound have shown to be cost-effective and accessible treatment options Invasive treatments including injections and surgery are considered for resistant cases
Previous studies have examined the effectiveness of ESWT Low level laser therapy High intensity laser therapy and exercise treatments in patients with PF demonstrating their efficacy Although there are studies investigating the effectiveness of MLS laser therapy on various musculoskeletal pathologies to our knowledge there is no study specifically examining its efficacy on PF
