Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study was designed as prospective observational research. Between December 2019 and May 2020, 90 patients who were admitted to the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic for ESWT were planned to be included in the study. Pre-treatment pain values of patients with 3 different examination methods (visual analog scale, numerical pain scale and heel sensitivity index), 3 different disability index Foot function index, Foot and Ankle Outcome Score, The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle-Hindfoot Score will be used.

These methods will be evaluated before and after ESWT treatment and the responsiveness and minimal clinically important difference of the questionnaires will be compared.
