The struggle to stay physically active—A qualitative study exploring experiences of individuals with persistent plantar fasciopathy

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 16, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Plantar fasciopathy is the most common cause of heel pain, and is associated with decreased physical activity level and quality of life. There has been limited research on the experiences of patients with plantar fasciopathy. This study seeks to gain more in‐depth understanding and knowledge by exploring the lived experiences of ...

Effect of Early Radial Shock Wave Treatment on Spasticity in Subacute Stroke Patients: A Pilot Study

BioMed Research International, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Background. Spasticity is a complication that can start immediately after stroke. Radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) is a physical therapy tool used to manage chronic spasticity. However, the effect of rESWT’s early use to treat spasticity after stroke is still not clearly investigated. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of
