Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of two distinct approache extracorporeal shock wave therapy and foot core stabilization exercises in the treatment of plantar faciitis (PF) by comparing their impacts on pain, muscle strength, and functionality. The study seeks to better understand the role of innovative exercise protocols in addressing biomechanical imbalances and the contribution of ESWT to biological healing mechanisms. The anticipated results are expected to provide evidence-based treatment approaches that can enhance the quality of life in individuals with PF, guide clinical applications in physical medicine and rehabilitation, and strengthen the position of these treatment methods within the broader healthcare system. Moreover, the findings may benefit a larger patient population by improving the management of PF.
