- * Methods: A total of 24 healthy participants underwent a randomized controlled crossover study where they received either HICUS or a placebo on different days, with IFP stiffness and gliding measured at various angles of knee flexion before, immediately after, and 15 minutes post-treatment.
- * Results: HICUS significantly reduced IFP stiffness at 10 degrees knee flexion and improved gliding in participants, with beneficial effects observed shortly after treatment; however, no significant changes were

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the pain-relieving effects of radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy on patients with plantar fasciitis, noting that there is no clear guideline on the best treatment practices.
- Forty patients participated, with pain levels measured using a visual analogue scale to assess both immediate and long-term efficacy of the therapy.
- Results showed that 57.5% of patients experienced significant pain relief, indicating the therapy's effectiveness, but further research is needed to establish the best treatment settings.
