PTJ Author Interview: Cost-Effectiveness of Plantar Heel Pain Management
In this episode of the PTJ Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Steven George, PT, PhD, FAPTA, talks with Shane McClinton, PT, DPT, PhD, about his recently published study, which compared the cost-effectiveness of usual podiatry care plus physical therapy with podiatry care alone in the management of plantar heel pain. Listen as they discuss the inspiration for the study, the typical patient experience for those with plantar heel pain, and why it is important for researchers to consider economic analysis studies for physical therapy. McClinton is co-author of the article “Cost-Effectiveness of Physical Therapist Treatment in Addition to Usual Podiatry Management of Plantar Heel Pain: Economic Evaluation of a Randomized Clinical Trial (https://academic.oup.com/ptj/advance-article/doi/10.1093/ptj/pzaf119/8272645).” Read the article on the PTJ website and follow PTJ on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/ptjournal?trk=public_post_follow-view-profile) and Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/ptjournal.bsky.social) for more research updates.
