“…Akınoğlu (2018) 26 Akınoğlu (2018) conducted a single centre prospective randomised controlled trial that included 54 patients with chronic plantar fasciitis attending Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation clinic. This is the same study group as Akınoğlu et al (2017) 25 ; however, the more recent study 26 reported different outcomes. Sealed envelope method was used for randomisation of study sample into three groups: 24 patients in the rESWT and exercise group, 26 patients in the UST and exercise group and 28 patients in the exercise group.…”

“…In Figure 4, functional impairment was reported by Konjen et al 23 , Akınoğlu et al (2017) 25 and Dedes et al 27 enrolling 106 patients. There was no significant statistical difference seen in the standard mean difference analyses showing a higher functional impairment in the ESWT group compared to the UST group (Standard MD = -2.90, CI = -7.51 to 1.72, P = 0.22).…”

Objective To compare the outcomes of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) versus Ultrasound Therapy (UST) in plantar fasciitis. Methods A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed. An electronic search identifying studies comparing ESWT and UST for plantar fasciitis was conducted. Primary outcomes were morning and activity pain, functional impairment and the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scale score. Secondary outcomes included fascial thickness, primary efficacy success rate, activity limitations, pain intensity and satisfaction. Results Seven studies enrolling 369 patients were identified. No significant difference was found between ESWT and UST for functional impairment (Mean Difference [MD]= -2.90, P= 0.22), AOFAS scale score (MD= 35, P= 0.20) and pain in the first steps in the morning (MD= -4.72, P= 0.39). However, there was a significant improvement in pain during activity for the ESWT group (MD= -1.36, P= 0.005). For secondary outcomes, ESWT had improved results in terms of primary efficacy success rate, activity limitations and patient satisfaction. Reduction of planter fascia thickness showed no significant difference. Pain intensity after treatment had varied results amongst included studies. Conclusion ESWT is superior to UST for plantar fasciitis as it improves pain activity and intensity, primary efficacy success rate and activity limitations.

“…Radial extracorporeal shock waves radiate energy by the pressure waves. Pressure waves are generated when the condensed air in the pneumatic device is instantaneously released and collides with numerous pendulums arranged in a straight line [17]. The time of increase in the pulse of the RSWT shock wave is relatively longer than that of other ESWT shock waves.…”

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy has since been developed and used steadily in medical advanced countries. Shock waves have features such as reflection, transmission, and diffraction, as do sound and light waves. Compared to sound waves, they are faster and more powerful pressure waves. ESWT is classified into focus type and radial type, according to the principle of wave generation. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy has been used for a variety of musculoskeletal disorders. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy is a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment. Also, it is applied relatively easily to musculoskeletal patients and it has less impact on daily life since the recovery time after treatment is short.

Comparison of the Acute Effect of Radial Shock Wave Therapy and Ultrasound Therapy in the Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis: A Randomized Controlled Study

Abstract: All groups and particularly the r-ESWT and US groups' symptoms were decreased after treatment. However; FFI parameters were reduced more in the US groups than the other two groups, the ankle proprioception sense increased in the r-ESWT group, and there was no change in the other groups.
