Clinical Trial Summary

This study will be done to investigate the effect of the selected rehabilitation program for PF on plantar fascia thickness, clinical outcomes such as pain, foot function, dorsiflexion ROM and pressure pain threshold and alignment such as rearfoot eversion angle and foot posture index in patients with PF.


Clinical Trial Description

Plantar fasciitis (PF), which constitutes approximately 15% of all foot disorders, is the most prevalent cause of heel pain. It is a long-term degenerative process that is impacted by subtalar pronation and pes planus. One million US patients saw primary care physicians with PF between 1995 and 2000. There is not enough data to determine the best physical therapy management techniques for individuals with heel pain, despite the existence of multiple successful treatment approaches. this study investigated at how a mechanically based rehabilitation program affected patients with PF in terms of foot alignment, plantar fascia thickness, pain, pressure pain threshold, ROM and foot function. The approach included strengthening the plantar intrinsic muscles of the foot, plantar fascia specific stretching and Achilles tendon stretching, and passively correcting the pathomechanics of the foot by low dye tapping and high load resistance exercise for Achilles tendon and windlass mechanism ;
