The aim of this study is to clarify the efficacy of plantar displacement calcaneal osteotomy for intractable plantar fasciitis by decreasing the tension of the plantar fascia around the calcaneal attachment while keeping the plantar fascia intact and comparing it with the plantar fascia release in pain control, job return and foot arch preservation.
The primary aim of the study is to determine whether deviations from normal in the myofascial structure have an effect on the development of plantar fasciitis by evaluating the myofascial chain lines as well as the general evaluation parameters in patients diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. The secondary aim of the study is to create a future clinical projection regarding the applications to be made over the myofascial chain in addition to the generally accepted treatment protocols in the light of the findings.
The primary aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of Myofascial Chain Release Techniques on pain, functional limitation and quality of life in patients with Plantar Fasciitis. The secondary aim of the study is to create a future clinical projection regarding the applications to be made over the myofascial chain in addition to the generally accepted treatment protocols in the light of the findings. There will be three groups in this study. Each group will consist of 12 patients aged 30-60 years with plantar fasciitis. A total of 36 participants will take part in the study. Conventional physiotherapy will be applied to the group 1 and, local release technique addition to conventional physiotherapy will be applied to the group 2, while myofascial release techniques will be applied to the experimental group in addition to conventional physiotherapy. Treatment programs will be applied to both groups 2 days a week for 6 weeks. Postural problems that can be seen in the superficial back myofascial chain line will be evaluated.
The investigators are trying to study that there is no difference in improvement of motion between static progressive and dynamic splinting.
A set of 100 patients previously diagnosed with plantar fasciitis will be given initial questionnaires about their symptoms and randomly assigned either night splints or the novel calf stretching device. The participants will use each device for 6 weeks. At the end of those 6 weeks, they will return for a follow up questionnaire. The answers in the questionnaire will be analyzed to compare the effectiveness of night splints to calf stretching.
Diacutaneous Fibrolysis (FD) is a physiotherapy technique based on Cyricax's transverse massage. Kurt Ekman, its creator, observed that Cyriax's deep transverse massage was intended to achieve a mechanical effect on the tissues, but this had a series of disadvantages such as the difficulty in penetrating between tissue septa due to the large surface area of the finger tips, as well as its soft consistency in the face of adhesions or fibrosis. Hypothesis: Adding FD to the gastrocnemius and plantar fascia to a primary care treatment protocol will produce a decrease in the stiffness (viscoelastic property) of the plantar fascia, an increase in length, width, height and a decrease in the plantar arch, as well as an increase in the length of the gastrocnemius greater than not adding it in subjects with plantar fasciitis. Data collection. Once the participant has passed the selection criteria and signed the informed consent form, the measurements of the anthropometric variables and classification of the foot with the Foot Posture Index will be carried out. Subsequently, the dependent variables will be collected, starting with active and passive gastrocnemius flexibility, followed by measurements with the anthropometric foot measurement platform (foot length, arch height in loading and unloading, arch height index, foot width in loading and unloading, windlass force at 20º, 40º and maximum, myotonometry measurements (tone, stiffness, elasticity, relaxation and creep) and pain. Once the initial variables have been recorded, the first patient intervention will be carried out according to the assigned group. A total of 8 sessions will be carried out over 4 weeks (2 sessions per week). The variables of this study will be collected at the beginning of the study and at the end of the 8 intervention sessions (1 month). Intervention "Protocol The usual protocol that the health service guidelines for this pathology will be carried out. The protocol consists of calf stretching exercises, plantar fascia, proprioception exercises, ultrasound, magnet therapy and gait re-education and proprioceptive exercises. The average intervention lasts between 30-45 minutes. "Protocol "+FD Participants in this group will additionally receive 15 minutes of the treatment technique. The FD intervention will be carried out with the same duration and protocol for all participants. The intervention protocol will be: Start with the point of maximum tension between the two muscle bellies of the calf and hamstring (Reverse hook). Then work on the peroneus longus lateralis and soleus. Then the external calf muscle belly and soleus and the internal calf muscle belly and soleus. Then work on the tendon of the flexor hallucis proprio of the big toe and the inner edge of the Achilles tendon and peroneus longus. Then treatment of the peroneus longus with the peroneus brevis. Scraping of the insertion of the Achilles tendon, hooking of the internal and external part of the plantar fascia. Finally, longitudinal friction of the plantar fascia. The participant will be in prone position with a support on the front of the leg with the foot off the stretcher. The physiotherapist will be in a standing position next to the participant. The procedure will be to palpate the different intermuscular septa and grooves and then perform the FD phases with the hook (supplementary transverse traction).
The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in terms of pain, disability, activity limitation, gait speed, and cadence in patients with plantar fasciitis (PF).
It was previously hypothesized that patients receiving Intense Therapeutic Ultrasound (ITU) in addition to the standard of care would have a more rapid resolution of pain, faster return to activities, and a decrease in intra- and perifascial lesions.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that prolotherapy in conjunction with a physiotherapy program looking at reinforcing calf muscle and muscle of the plantar fascia, relieves pain and improves function of people suffering of plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the plantar fascia, after basic treatment failure.
