Elastography and Thermography Plantar Fasciopathy Assessment After Radiofrequency Stimulation in a Sporty Population

Spain28 participantsStarted 2022-06-01

Plain-language summary

448kilohertz capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency is a novel technique in physiotherapy and its usefulness and clinical relevance is still to be investigated at both clinical practice and also in performance. Current studies show promising results in different musculoskeletal disorders, however there no studies in the assessment of quality soft tissue in sporty population after the used of this technique.
