Plantar Fasciitis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Short-term Effects of a Myofascial Release on Elasticity in Patients With Plantar Fasciitis: A Pre-post Evaluation With Sonoelastography
Background: Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain in runners. No studies
have described the short-term effects of myofascial release on plantar fasciitis using
ultrasound.
Objectives: To describe the immediate sonoelastographic changes in the plantar fascia of
amateur runners with fasciitis after applying a myofascial release technique.
Design: A single-centre, experimental and controlled study.
Method: Patients with plantar fasciitis and a group of healthy subjects will be examined
using B-mode and real time sonoelastography scanning. Fascia thickness, echointensity and
echovariation of the color histogram will be analyzed pre- and post intervention. A two-way
(Group × Time) repeated measures ANOVA will be performed.
Participants
Subjects of the plantar fasciitis group (PFG) will be recruited in May2018 to apply to them a
myofascial release technique.
Healthy volunteers without a history of plantar fascia disease will be recruited as control
group (CG).
The examination will be included B-mode scanning and real time sonoelastography using an US
scanner with linear array transducer (ML6-15). All examinations will be conducted by a
sonographer with more than 10 years' experience in musculoskeletal imaging.
Using a standardized protocol three images of every pre-post intervention video will be
stored uncompressed and with no losses in bitmap format (bmp), and the mean value of the
histogram components will be used for statistical analysis. The examination protocol shows
good reliability, and has been reported previously.
ImageJ 1.45 software will be used to perform quantitative analysis of gray-scale images and
the color histogram of the elastogram.
