Efficacy of radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy in hereditary spastic paraplegia: A case report. [PDF]
Rationale: Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), a rare neurodegenerative disorder in Japan, is characterized by insidiously progressive lower extremity spasticity and muscle weakness. Current management is primarily symptomatic, including physical therapy and spasticity modulation with botulinum toxin or intrathecal baclofen ...

Effect of Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in Patients With Fabella Syndrome [PDF]
The fabella is a small sesamoid bone generally located in the tendon of the lateral head of the gastrocnemius behind the lateral condyle of the femur. Fabella syndrome is the occurrence of posterolateral knee pain associated with the fabella. It is a rare cause of knee pain that is often misdiagnosed.
