Shear wave elastography for treatment monitoring of plantar fasciitis.

CONCLUSIONS: A physical therapy based treatment relieves plantar fasciitis symptoms during a 3-month period. In line with symptom reduction, stiffness (Young's-moduli) of plantar fascia increased significantly, while B-mode ultrasound revealed no measurable changes during the healing process. Shear wave elastography was able to quantify plantar fascia pathologies and their recovery under therapy. PMID: 32955840 [PubMed - in process]
