About

To date, focused and radial types of ESWT have been effectively used in calcaneal spur. However, studies directly addressing a comparison between radial and focused types of ESWT in calcaneal spur have not been done. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate comparative effects of radial and focused ESWT options on calcaneal spur.
