简要总结
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.
详细描述
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

结局指标
主要结局
Assessing the change in pain intensity
时间窗: At baseline and following 8 weeks
VAS is typically composed of a 100 mm horizontal line attached to two opposed labels, the left end marked "no pain" and the right end marked "worst possible pain. Patients were marked a score on the scale by a vertical line that exactly refer to their pain
