Filter by:(Subproject 1) "Plantar heel pain (PHP)" or "plantar fasciitis" is one of the major foot problems which can occur in any age group. It is a commonly encountered musculoskeletal problem that can cause disability, activity limitation, discomfort, and affect the quality of life. It involves pain and inflammation of the plantar fascia, which runs across the bottom of the foot and connects the heel bone to toes. PHP frequently found in active workers aged between 25 and 65 years with the highest incidence in people aged between 40 and 60 years. However, very few studies investigated the alterations of the multisegmental foot motions and muscle functions in patients with PHP. To prescribe the relevant program of treatment and reduce the risk of symptoms chronicity, it is necessary to have an in-depth understanding of changing mechanisms in patients with PHP. To explain how the symptoms occur in patients with PHP, foot function is another aspect that should be determined. One of the popular questionnaires determining foot function is the Foot Function Index (FFI) questionnaire. It has been proved to have good reliability and validity and has been translated into several languages. To be able to use the international standard questionnaire, it is necessary to translate the FFI into Thai. This can be implemented in Thailand and be able to compare the findings of the interventional effect internationally. In addition, very few studies reported the effectiveness of the treatment program for patients with PHP. Among previous evidences, the controversial findings existed. Thus, the intervention program should be evaluated for obtaining the effective treatment for this population. (Subproject 3) The objectives of the study will be General Objective is to investigate the effectiveness of strengthening exercise program on symptoms in patients with plantar heel pain. Specific Objectives is to compare the effectiveness between physical therapy treatment program with strengthening exercise and with stretching exercise on foot function score, pain at worst score, plantar fascia thickness, muscles strength, ankle motion, and gait parameters in patients with plantar heel pain among baseline, after 4th and 8th of treatments, and after 1st and 2nd month of self-home based exercise.
The specific aim of the study is to compare the safety and efficacy of a single administration of DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection versus placebo for managing plantar fasciitis.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Therapeutic Ultrasound is effective in the treatment of Plantar fasciitis (PF).
The purpose of this study is to determine if dry needling both low back and extremity areas is more effective for reducing pain and improving strength, balance and functional performance among patients with chronic musculoskeletal conditions compared to dry needling of extremity areas only.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of manual therapy and of manual therapy associated with hip strengthening in the recovery of patients with heel pain. Heel pain decreases function, balance, walking and can cause change in the movement pattern. This alterations can induce a deficit in motor control of other structures as knee and hip. There is an importance to compare the effects of manual therapy and manual therapy associated with hip strengthening on the recover of patients with heel pain.
To check in patients suffering from chronic plantar fasciitis treated with shock wave therapy, if the outward appearance of the device affects clinical outcomes.
To assess whether the provision of a tension night splint (TNS) device has any additional benefit in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis, compared to routine care comprising physiotherapy & podiatry alone.
To investigate whether a procedure of ultrasound-guided autologous blood injections (ABI), which includes a dry-needling component within the overall procedure, has any measureable clinical benefit over ultrasound-guided dry needling alone in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of collagen injection in patients with plantar fasciitis
