Scientific titleChanges of proximal plantar fascia microcirculation after extracorporeal shock wave therapy in patients with proximal fasciitis: a double blinded randomised controlled trial
Study objectives1. There will be an increase in microcirculation at the proximal plantar fascia (PPF) in chronic plantar fasciitis patients
2. Short term and long term changes no microcirculation can be observed after application of extracorporeal shock wave therapy
Ethics approval(s)Ethical Committee of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, 18/06/2009, ref: HSEARS20090618004
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedChronic plantar fasciitis
InterventionPatients will be randomised by drawing cards to receive 3 or 6 sessions of radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) treatment (Storz Medical, Duolith SD, Switzerland), or no active treatment (control). The outcome measures will be taken before, immediately after, at 3, 6 and 12 months after intervention.
