Compared with surgery, ESWT is less invasive, more cost-effective, and has demonstrated favorable longterm outcomes.  \nAim of the study: To address the limited reliability of subjective scales and the clinical translation difficulties of laboratory gait analysis in current efficacy evaluation of ESWT for PF, we propose a monocular-vision, multi-parameter combination framework for multidimensional decoupling assessment of gait dynamics.  \nMethods: Using a monocular RGB camera, we recorded a total of 633 gait videos from 23 PF patients before and after ESWT intervention. Lower-limb kinematic parameters were extracted with the CtransPose pose-estimation algorithm and dimensionality reduction and reconstruction were performed by principal component analysis (PCA) . Five core functional dimensions explaining a cumulative variance of 89.18% were successfully extracted, and a theoretical framework for multidimensional coupling of gait features was established. Results: The primary efficacy dimension (PC1) improved significantly after treatment: step length increased from 0.33 [0.30, 0.39] m to 0.37 [0.29, 0.44] m, stride length increased from 0.59 [0.52, 0.69] m to 0.63 [0.55, 0.75] m, and walking speed increased from 0 . 59 [0 .48, 0 . 67] m/s to 0 . 62 [0 . 55, 0 .75] m/s (all P \u003C 0. 05) . The coordinated improvement of these objective parameters suggests that ESWT may effectively restore basic propulsion-phase locomotor function by alleviating pain. The gait-optimization dimension (PC3) reflected a pattern of improved gait efficiency, characterized by significantly increased walking speed (P \u003C 0. 001) while cadence remained unchanged, reflecting release of painavoidance strategies. The swing-control dimension (PC5) showed a significant reduction in maximum swing angle (P = 0.003), indicating a favorable transformation in swing control mechanisms.  \nFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology 01 [frontiersin.org](frontiersin.org)  \n","cbCaieFHVuu4sQ6B","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieFHVuu4sQ6B","pdf",1736497,11,"English","# Background\n# Aim of the study\n# Methods\n# Results\n# Conclusion\n# Keywords\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the study target in evaluating ESWT efficacy for plantar fasciitis?\",\"answer\":\"It targets limited reliability of subjective scales and the difficulty of translating laboratory gait analysis into clinical efficacy evaluation for plantar fasciitis.\"},{\"question\":\"How were gait data collected and analyzed in this research?\",\"answer\":\"The study used a monocular RGB camera to record 633 gait videos from 23 patients before and after ESWT.
