Filter by: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.
Calcaneal spur is one of the most common causes of chronic heel lower face pain without a traumatic cause. Obesity, sedentary life and advanced age play a role in its etiology. Mechanical overload is the main factor in the development of the disease. Impaired biomechanical factors in the foot cause repetitive microtraumas, traction periostitis and degenerative changes in the plantar fascia. The calcaneal spur is a result of this pathological process that creates pain. Many static radiological evaluation methods are used to evaluate the effect of foot anatomy in etiology. The talocalcaneal angle is one of them. It is the angle between the long axis of the talus and the long axis of the calcaneus. This angle shows the alignment of the back of the foot. It decreases with varus angulation of the back of the foot and increases with valgus angulation. In this study, it was aimed to determine the place of the talocalcaneal angle values measured in the lateral radiographs of the foot in the etiology of painful calcaneal spur formation.
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 main objective of this study is to compare the effects of Instrument Assisted soft tissue mobilization and kinesiology taping on the pain, disability and range of motion of the patients and to compare the cost-effectiveness of both these treatment approaches. RCT done at health professionals, Life Care International hospital, and railway general hospital. The sample size was 36. Patients diagnosed with plantar fasciitis were randomized into 2 groups i.e., Group A and Group B with the help of non-probability convenience sampling. Both groups had received conventional Physiotherapy interventions (Stretching, Manual therapy, exercise therapy and home exercise plane.) along with specific techniques. The patients in group A had received Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) and patients in group B had received treatment with kinesiology taping. The total duration of study was about 4 weeks. The patients had received 3 sessions per week for a period of 4 weeks and the outcomes were evaluated at baseline (first session), second assessment at the end of 2nd week and 3rd assessment at the end of 4th week. Only obese patients aged between 25-65 years were included in the study and were assessed upon the scoring of foot function index. Data will be analysed with the help of SPSS version 21.
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions in distance runners. 44% of patients still had the symptoms after 15 years from the first onset. The chronicity of the condition may lead to significant limitations on daily activities and even cessation of running. In the concept of foot core system, the intrinsic foot muscles work together with plantar fascia to stabilize the foot arches and provide dynamic support to the foot during functional activities. Given that the intrinsic foot muscles also play an important role as a direct sensors of foot deformation, postural control may be compromised during pathological state. Therefore, this study aim to investigate the differences in the muscle thickness and cross-sectional area of intrinsic foot muscles and postural control in runners with and without plantar fasciitis. We hypothesized that runners with plantar fasciitis demonstrate small intrinsic foot muscles sizes and poor postural control when compared with the asymptomatic counterparts.
The investigators are trying to study that there is no difference in improvement of motion between static progressive and dynamic splinting.
