EFFICACY OF HIGH INTENSITY LASER THERAPY ON SHEAR-WAVE ELASTOGRAPHY PARAMETERS IN PATIENTS WITH ACHILLES TENDINOPATHY: A PILOT FEASIBILITY STUDY
Description
This dataset corresponds to a pilot feasibility study titled “Efficacy of High-Intensity Laser Therapy on Shear-Wave Elastography Parameters in Patients with Achilles Tendinopathy.” The data were collected to evaluate the effects of High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) on biomechanical and clinical outcomes in individuals diagnosed with Achilles tendinopathy. The dataset includes anonymized participant-level data obtained from patients meeting predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Variables are organized into the following categories: Age, Gender, Height, weight, BMI, shear-wave elastography parameters, NPRS scores and ROM for ankle plantarflexion and Dorsiflexion.

The subjects were screened as per the APTA guidelines for Achilles Tendinopathy by the Physiotherapist, then the shear-wave parameters were assessed by the radiologist for the achilles tendon, and the pain intensity and range of motion was assessed by the physiotherapist, then 3 alternate sessions of HILT were administered to the subjects at 980 nm wavelength, static, continuous mode, 3210 J energy and then the post intervention assessments were taken.
