Filter by: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.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether radial extracorporeal shockwave therapy (rESWT), sham- rESWT or standardised exercise program is more effective on change in heel pain than usual care in the treatment of plantar fasciopathy. The null hypothesis is: There is no difference between rESWT, sham- rESWT or standardised exercise program on change in heel pain (primary outcome) and functioning (secondary outcomes) compared to usual care in the treatment of plantar fasciopathy at 6 months follow-up (and secondary outcomes at the 12 months follow-up). Alternative hypothesis is: H1: There is a difference between rESWT and usual care on change in heel pain (and secondary outcomes) at the 6 months follow-up (and secondary outcomes at the 12 months follow-up). H2: There is a difference between sham-rESWT and usual care on change in heel pain (and secondary outcomes ) at 6 months follow-up (and secondary outcomes at the 12 months follow-up). H3: There is a difference between standardized exercise program and usual care on change in heel pain (and secondary outcomes) at 6 months follow- up (and secondary outcomes at the 12 months follow-up).
Prospective, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial of the micronized dHACM injection as compared to the saline placebo injection in the treatment of plantar fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is seen common in clinics and responsible from most of foot related pain problems. There are many treatment modalities in the literature as well as there is no golden standard to treat plantar fasciitis in non-surgical ways. The aim of this study is to compare intensive physiotherapy program, home based exercise program and control group decide the most effective rehabilitation program in plantar fasciitis.
Double-blinded feasibility study for the treatment of pain related to chronic plantar fasciitis. A total 37 patients (27 treated and 12 control/sham treated) received 2 treatments, 2 weeks apart on subcutaneous plantar fascia musculoskeletal tissue along with Standard of Care treatments as prescribed by the Principal Investigator. Patients were followed for up to 6 months after the first treatment receiving a physical exam at each follow-up visit (4, 8 and 12 weeks) and provided feedback via Patient/Subject Reported Outcome Measure surveys specific to the treated anatomy at each visit and via phone follow-up at 26 weeks after the first treatment.
A clinical trial evaluating the effectiveness, safety and patient tolerance for the use of Intense Therapeutic Ultrasound (ITU) for chronic, Plantar Fasciitis musculoskeletal tissue pain reduction began in August 2016 and was completed in April 2017. The clinical setting: University Foot and Ankle Institute, Santa Monica, California, USA; Single-Blinded, pivotal study for chronic plantar fasciitis.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of acupuncture to a standard of care prescribed exercise program is more effective at improving pain and function in adult patients with plantar fasciosis.
This is a clinical trial that will be done in the state of Kuwait, at the physical rehabilitation medicine hospital. the participants will be recruited from all over Kuwait, there is a clinical registry upon the ethical committee in Kuwait assigned by the ministry of health.
The primary aim of this clinical experiment is to compare, in terms of pain relief measured using the 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS) pain score (5-7), the clinical results of ultrasound-guided injection (USGI) versus anatomic topography-guided injection (ATGI) of corticosteroid for the treatment of proximal PF. Secondary aims will be to compare foot-related quality of life, as measured using the Foot Function Index (FFI)and the Bristol Foot Score (BFS), between the injection groups, and also to compare the pre-injection to late-term post-injection thickness of the plantar fascia as measured in the nested USGI group.
While human body receives large external force or motions, minor injuries to the soft tissues will be produced and will lead to acute or chronic inflammation reactions. Plantar fasciitis is the most common foot diseases in normal population. Plantar fascia is a tight band-like soft tissue that crosses between the bony surfaces of the bottom of the foot with thick ligament-like structure substantially. Various reasons will induce the happening of plantar fasciitis including native bone structure, aging, athletic motions and injuries. Indeed, diagnosis of chronic heel pain remains challenging due to the complex structures of the foot. Therefore, it is widely accepted that diagnostic imaging such as ultrasound and computed tomography offer important orthopedic information for clinical assessments of soft tissues and bone. Even though there is no single treatment shows the highest level of evidence for plantar fasciitis, wearing of insoles or orthotics are highly suggested for clinical therapy. Common custom-made insoles are manufactured with polymeric materials based on standing foot-pressure distribution. However, this method strongly depends on experience of doctors or physical therapists and usually time-consuming. In addition, modern medical researches tend to combine the information of both soft (pressure distribution) and hard (orthopedic) tissues for designing of orthotics and other medical assistive devices because of the complicity of the limb motion and structures. Therefore, investigators aim at developing integrated 3D system that provides a 3D limb data model with high-resolution appearance scanning and orthopedic information for designing of medical assistant devices. This model composes of 3D surface scanning, 3D bony structure scanning, and soft tissues characteristic mechanical properties. By developing this system, the 3D model is also highly applicable to the other parts of human assistant devices. It will bring the enormous impact to the associated medical field and create excellent economic value.
