摘要
Purpose. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) for the treatment of adults with chronic insertional Achilles tendinopathy. Methods. 68 patients with chronic insertional Achilles tendinopathy were enrolled in this study. A total of 35 patients were treated with a single dose of ESWT (3000 shocks of 0,20 mJ/mm(2), ESWT group), while 33 patients were treated with traditional non-operative measures (control group). Results. At 3 months post treatment, the mean VAS for the control and ESWT groups were 2.9 and 7.2 respectively. Using the Roles and Maudsley scale, 39% of the control patients and 51% of the ESWT patients, were assigned an excellent or good result. Conclusions. ESWT as applied is a safe and effective treatment for chronic insertional Achilles tendinopathy.
