Abstrakt:	Objective: Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain. The aetiology of this condition remains unclear. Patients typically have pain upon palpation of the medial plantar calcaneal region. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy has shown favourable outcomes in various studies. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of focused extracorporeal shockwave therapy with radial pressure wave therapy. Patients and Methods: Seventy-nine non-randomised patients diagnosed with plantar fasciitis were included between January 2017 and June 2018. Patients from the Arnau de Vilanova Hospital in Valencia were treated with focused extracorporeal shockwave therapy, and patients from Llíria Hospital with radial pressure wave therapy. Measured outcome variables were: visual analog scale; ultrasonographic measurement of plantar fascia thickness; self-reported foot-specific pain and disability using the Foot Function Index; self-reported health-related quality of life using the Euroqol-5D; self-reported pain and limitations of activity using the Roles & Maudsley Scale. Results: At inclusion, the 2groups showed no significant differences in demographic or clinical characteristics. Three months after treatment completion, both groups showed improvement in all outcome variables, without statistically significant differences between the 2groups. No adverse effects or complications were observed. Conclusions: Both extracorporeal shockwave therapy and radial pressure wave therapy are effective treatments for plantar fasciitis.
