“…Since there is a strong relationship between the CSL values before and after ESWT, our findings supports that ESWT can successfully decreases the CSL in the clinical settings of this study. The VAS scores before and after ESWT appeared as correlated slightly; this was in accordance with the data of literature [18][19][20]. Moreover, ESWT in the overweight and obese patients with symptomatic calcaneal spur resulted in a decrease in the length of calcaneal spur measured as an objective technique first time in the present study.…”

Abstract. OBJECTIVE:We aimed to evaluate the effects of extra corporeal shock-wave therapy (ESWT) on the calcaneal spur length and pain severity in overweight and obese patients with symptomatic calcaneal spur. METHODS: In eighty patients with symptomatic calcaneal spur, ESWT was administered on days 0 and 7, and visual analog scale (VAS) scores and calcaneal spur lengths (CSLs) before and 3 months later after treatment were recorded. A lateral heel radiograph was used for computer-aided linear measurements of CSL. RESULTS: Of 80 patients, 59 (73.7%) were female and 21 were male (26.3%); age was 45.9 ± 8.3 years; BMI was 31.6 ± 4.4 kg/m 2 ; and symptom duration was 2.3 ± 2.4 years. The CSL and VAS score after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment (CSL before vs. after: 5.7 ± 1.0 vs. 4.4 ± 0.9, p = 0.001; VAS score before vs. after: 8.3 ± 1.4 vs. 4.6 ± 2.2; p = 0.03). The CSLs before and after treatment had a significant strong correlation (r = 0.832, p = 0.001). The VAS scores before and after treatment presented a significant mild correlation (r = 0.242, p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: In overweight and obese patients with symptomatic calcaneal spur, ESWT reduces the CSL and pain severity during a follow-up of three-month duration.

“…Plantar fasiit ile obezite arasında kuvvetli pozitif ilişki vardır. Yaş, uzun süre ayakta kalma, 1. metatarsofalangeal eklem ekstansiyonunda ve ayak bileği dorsifleksiyonunda azalma ise zayıf ilişkili risk faktörleridir (3,4). Aynı zamanda plantar fleksör kasın esnekliğinin azalması sonucu plantar fasyayı çekmesi, plantar fasiit gelişim riskini arttırmaktadır (5).…”

Objective: Plantar fasciitis is a painfull condition limiting foot function common both in athlete and sedentary populations. Different modalities like orthosis, night splints, steroid injections, extracorporeal shock wave therapy and kinesiotape applications are used in the treatment of plantar fasciitis. In this study the effect of kinesiotape application in addition to extracorporeal shock wave therapy was evaluated. Materials and Methods: Seventy two patients who were diagnosed with plantar fasciitis enrol--led into the study. Age, height, body weight, body mass index, gender, side involved and length of calcaneal spur from direct X--ray graphs in weight bearing positon were measured and noted. Patients were divided into three groups as extracorporeal shock wave therapy group (Group 1), extracorporeal shock wave therapy and kinesiotape group (Group 2) and extracorporeal shock wa--ve therapy and sham kinesiotape group (Group 3). Extracorporeal shock wave therapy was app--lied once a day per week, at 15 Hz frequency, 20 Barr energy and 2000 impulses/session. Taping was done just after the extracorporeal shock wave therapy and kinesiotape was kept for five days/week. Patients were assessed by visual analog scale score, and Roles and Maudsley pain scale. Scores were taken at the beginning of treatment; 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd weeks of treatment. Results: After the end of the three weeks treatment period, all groups had statistically signifi--cant visual analog scale score, and Roles and Maudsley pain score improvements (p<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant differences between groups (p>0.05). Conclusions: Extracorporeal shock wave therapy lowers pain scores of plantar fasciitis patients in three weeks. Kinesiotape application in addition to extracorporeal shock wave therapy treat--ment does not provide additional profit.
