EWST THEORIES

Question 1

in conclusion, the results of the present study demonstrated the ESWT treatment effectively ameliorated diabetic neuropathy in a murine experimental setting

Answer 1

Chen Y-L, et al

EWST for diabetic neuropathy

Question 2

this study found for achilles tendinopathy that EPAT (extra-corporeal pulsed activated therapy) provided significant improvement

level III

Answer 2

Saxena A et al for achilles tendinopathy`

Question 3

this study for achilles tendinopathy used eccentric loading vs eccentric loading with shock wave treatment for mid portion achilles tendinopathy

level I

Answer 3

Rompe et al for achilles tendinopathy

Question 4

this study for achilles tendinopathy used eccentric loading compared with shock wave treatment for chronic insertion achilles tendinopathy: a randomized controlled trial

level I

Answer 4

Rompe et al for achilles tendinopathy

Question 5

this study for achilles tendinopathy studied the use of shockwave therapy for chronic Achilles tendinopathy; a double blind, randomized clinical trial of efficacy

level I

Answer 5

Rasmussen et al for achilles tendinopathy

Question 6

this study for achilles tendinopathy used high energy extracorporeal shock wave therapy as a treatment for chronic non insertional achilles tendinopathy

level III

Answer 6

Furia for achilles tendinopathy

Question 7

this study for medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints) found that low energy extracorporeal shock wave therapy as a treatment for medial tibial stress syndrome

level III

Answer 7

Rompe et al for medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints)

Question 8

T/F, there is no evidence for the effect of any intervention in treating MTSS ?

which one shows most promise

Answer 8

T

EWST

Question 9

this study for MTSS is a retrospective cohort study and included radial EWST + home training program vs home training program only

EWST combined group out performed the other group

level II

Answer 9

Rompe et al for medial tibial stress syndrome

Question 10

this is study of shockwave treatment for medial tibial stress syndrome in athletes

prospective controlled study

5 focused EWST treatments increasing in energy level each treatment

level II

Answer 10

Moen et al for MTSS and radial ESWT

Question 11

S thieve found that ESWT for this condition seemed to be effective and because of the high efficiency rate without significant side effects, shock wave treatment should be indicated before any interventional options such as surgery in any technique

Answer 11

osteochondritis dessicans OCD of Knee and Talus

Question 12

this was a level IV study with EWST used for this condition? and name the author involved?

Answer 12

Saxena et al for radial sound wave on seamoidopathy

Question 13

this was recommended as the primary standard of care in low risk patients with poor response to conventional treatments

Answer 13

stress fractures from study by Leal, et al
