简要总结
Chronic plantar fasciitis (CPF) is the most common cause of chronic heel pain in adults, affecting both young active patients and older, more sedentary individuals. It results from chronic overload of the plantar fascia. This overload may be due to overuse, as seen in runners and military personnel, or due to excessive loading in individuals with obesity (body mass index >30), sedentary lifestyles, or occupations that require prolonged standing.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain intensity level assessed by Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
时间窗: Baseline and after 8 sessions (approximately 4 weeks)
Pain intensity level assessed by Numeric Pain Rating Scale. A scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity.
Range of motion
时间窗: Baseline and after 8 sessions (approximately 4 weeks)
A digital goniometer is used for the assessment of ankle dorsiflexion, plantar flexion range of motion, and knee flexion range of motion.
