Brief Summary:
This study is a prospective randomized clinical trial. Radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (r-ESWT) is accepted as one of the most effective treatment modalities for plantar fasciitis (PF). Kinesio taping (KT) applied to the plantar fascia can provide patients with PF some benefits, but there no enough evidence about this topic. This study analysed the acute effect of adding KT to r-ESWT, on pain, foot function and flexibility when treating PF.
Detailed Description:
The study was performed on 42 patients with unilateral PF, that were randomly assigned into wo groups receiving four sessions of either r-ESWT or r-ESWT+KT treatment once per week. All patients performed home exercises. Patients' pain levels were evaluated via the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and foot function via the Foot Function Index (FFI). Flexibility was assessed through gastro-soleus and plantar fascia flexibility tests. The evaluations were done before and one week after the final treatment.
