Low and high intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy for chronic plantar fasciitis .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
OrthoEvidence Journal (OE Journal) - ACE Report
OE Journal. 2014;2(19):15 Arch Phys Med Rehabil. 2014 Aug;95(8):1585-1593Data from 7 studies (RCTs and Quasi-RCTs), examining 550 patients with chronic recalcitrant plantar fasciitis, was pooled to investigate the safety and efficacy of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT). The evidence presented in this meta-analysis and systematic review indicated that low intensity ESWT delivered higher success rates than control treatments. Pain relief was better in both low and high-intensity ESWT, and function was significantly superior in the low-intensity group compared to the control group.
