简要总结
Plantar heel pain is one of the most commonly encountered problems of the feet in adults [1]. It accounts for nearly 11%-15% of all foot symptoms, The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of high intensity laser therapy combined with gluteus Maximus strengthening exercise on pain, thickness of plantar fascia, and function of the foot.
