Allocation: NA
Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP
Intervention model description: ESWT
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The aim of the research is to investigate the effect of Ekstracorpereal shock wave treatment (ESWT) on muscle strength, flexibility and architecture of the lower extremity tendinopathies when applied using the frequencies specified in the literature with min and max frequency frequencies.

Our hypothesis as researchers is ESWT treatment has an effect on muscle strength, flexibility and muscle architecture.

Detailed description: The study will conduct in the Physical Therapy and Radiology Department in a private hospital. The Clinical Research Ethics Committee of Gaziantep the univsersity approved ethical compliance of the study with the decision number GO 2018-01. The participants will inform about the study and their write consent will obtain.

Demographic information including the name, age, height, body weight and occupation of the participants will obtain before the evaluation. All the measurements will perform before, soon after the 1st session and after the last session.

Outcome measures will be muscle strength, muscle flexibility, muscle architectures parameters.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria: Lower extremity tendinopathy
