“…In this study, the fact that ESWT plus low-dye KT treatment achieved more effective outcomes than ESWT at 4 weeks after the treatment ended shows the effectiveness of low-dye KT application when added to the ESWT treatment, which is an accepted therapy. [19][20][21][22] Frassanito et al 23 applied ESWT plus KT to one group and ESWT to the other group by dividing patients with calcific tendinopathy in the shoulder. As a result of the mentioned study, similar to our study, ESWT plus KT treatment was found to be more effective than ESWT alone in a 12-week follow-up.…”

“…As a result of the mentioned study, similar to our study, ESWT plus KT treatment was found to be more effective than ESWT alone in a 12-week follow-up. 23 In a meta-analysis investigating eight different methods in PF treatment, ESWT has been found to be more effective in reducing pain and has been reported to be a more optimal treatment compared with ultrasound, NSAID, and injection treatments (eg, corticosteroid, platelet-rich plasma, and dry-needling). 21 An important reason for its preference is that it is non-invasive and well tolerated because of its low side effect profile.…”

One of the common musculoskeletal pathology and pain causes of the foot is plantar heel pain, 1 and the most common cause of heel pain in adult ages is plantar fasciitis (PF). Patients feel severe pain in the first step they take after sitting for a long time or getting up and walking in the morning, and this pain is triggered by stretching the plantar fascia and carrying loads. 2 Studies have indicated that foot pain and stiffness are between 18% and 63%. 3 The plantar fascia is considered to be the result of micro-rupture occurring at

“…[15] Current literature provides high amount of rehabilitation protocols of the conservative treatment of the rotator cuff lesions, however most of them present the results of tests carried out in a short time. [4,5,14,16,17] and none of them mention the long term in uence of KT on muscle strength measured by objective research tools. According to available literature KT has positive effect on function of the upper extremity, however none of these studies provide long term results, therefore they cannot answer the question whether KT improves muscle strength and function of the shoulder girdle when added to rehabilitation protocol.…”

BackgroundThe aim of our study was to assess the influence of KT on the pain, range of motion and muscle strength of the rotator cuff during long-term rehabilitation process. Methods In pre post treatment randomized controlled trial took part sixty outpatients with the rotator cuff injury. Thirty participants were assigned into a researched group in which Kinesio Taping was combined with a six-week rehabilitation program and a control group (30 patients) in which only rehabilitation program was employed. Patients underwent functional testing according to the protocol of Orthopaedic Medicine Cyriax and were subjected to the measurement of muscle strength using Biodex System 4 dynamometer. ResultsThe therapy brought positive results in both groups when it comes to the increase of their muscle strength and the improvement of the upper limb functionality. Better effects were achieved by the therapy that used Kinesio Taping method, although the differences were not statistically significant. ConclusionsThe use of the Kinesio Taping method combined with the rehabilitation program gave the same results as the employment of the rehabilitation program alone in reference to the pain, range of motion and muscle strength of the rotator cuff.

“…Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is considered an effective treatment for treating calcific RC tendinopathy, as it can elicit an analgesic and anti-inflammatory response and promote tissue regeneration [19]. These high-pressure acoustic waves also cause a reduction in enthesopathic pain and enhancement of the functionality of limbs.…”

Objective. The current trial was designed to evaluate the effects of high-energy shockwave therapy on objective and subjective outcomes among participants with calcified rotator cuff tendinopathy. Methods. This parallel-group, randomized trial consists of 42 patients affected by calcific tendinopathies divided into two groups of 21 participants. Patients having calcified tendinopathy aged between 30 and 65 years with type A or B calcification were selected in the trial after signing the written consent form. Participants in the ESWT+RPT group received eight sessions of shockwaves, while the RPT group was treated by routine physical therapy. About 2000 shockwaves of 0.32 mJ/mm2, 120 Hz per treatment, were given as 12 sessions for the first six weeks (2 sessions/week). Pain intensity and shoulder functional ability, ultrasonographic changes, and quality of life were assessed with the numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), Constant-Murley score (CMS), ultrasonography, and Western Ontario rotator cuff index (WORC). Results. There were significant differences regarding NPRS and CMS between the two groups, at baseline and 6th and 12th weeks after intervention ( p < 0.05 ). Within-group differences also showed statistically significant results after treatment (all p < 0.05 ). Significant results were seen in the WORC and ultrasonographic results pre- and posttreatment; more significant findings were found in the experimental group as compared to others. Conclusion. High-energy shockwave therapy has been proved to be effective and thus strongly recommended for the management of calcified rotator cuff tendinopathy, improving the pain, functionality, and quality of life of these participants and decreasing the size of calcified deposits. Shockwave therapy is proved to be superior to routine physiotherapy.
