Background: Tendinopathy is caused by repetitive motion, excessive stress on the tendon, overstretch, and motion past the critical angle of rotation or translation. There are various treatment options available for tendinitis, including those affecting both the upper and lower limbs and those of calcific and non-calcific types.
Hypothesis/purpose: Few reviews have analyzed the efficacy of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) in treating upper and lower limb tendinopathies while considering calcific and non-calcific-type tendinitis.
Objectives: To determine the efficacy of whole-body vibration in the treatment of postnatal constipation.
Methods: The prospective, randomised, single-blind, pre-post, controlled trial was conducted from December 2020 to May 2021 at the outpatient clinic of the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department, Kafrelsheikh University Hospital, Egypt, and comprised women with complaint of postnatal constipation. They were randomised into two groups.
