The effect of plantar fasciitis on vertical foot-ground reaction force

, 2003
Despite the implication that mechanical overload is fundamental to the development of plantar fasciitis, gait analysis has revealed inconsistent findings regarding its effect on lower limb loading.

Plantar Fasciitis: An Updated Review

Journal of Medical Ultrasound, 2023
Abstract Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a common musculoskeletal disease. Histologic findings of patients with PF showed mainly chronic degenerative processes rather than inflammation. In addition to mechanical factors, such as repetitive stress and reduced ankle dorsiflexion, PF is also linked to rheumatologic diseases and genetic factors ...

The effectiveness of combined prescription of ankle–foot orthosis and stretching program for the treatment of recalcitrant plantar fasciitis

Egyptian Rheumatology and Rehabilitation, 2016
Introduction Plantar fasciitis frequently responds to a wide range of conservative treatments with various degrees of success. Therefore, a continued search for an effective conservative treatment for plantar fasciitis exists.

Prevalence, causes, and treatment of plantar fasciitis in young females of a medical college

Bulletin of Faculty of Physical Therapy
Background Plantar fasciitis, a common musculoskeletal disorder, is characterized by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes. The plantar fascia plays a crucial role in supporting the arch of the

Outcomes of Ultrasound-Guided Gastrocnemius Injection With Botulinum Toxin for Chronic Plantar Fasciitis.

, 2020
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to determine whether the injection of botulinum toxin A (BTA) in the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle could yield improvements in function and disability in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis with

Safeguarding Data Integrity in Online Podiatry Research: Understanding and Managing Non‐Genuine Participation

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Online research methods have become increasingly common in podiatry, offering efficient, low cost and convenient data collection. Emerging evidence from online studies suggests that the integrity of online research is being compromised by participants who are not genuine: for example, they may not have the relevant health condition they are ...

Changes in Lower Limb Axial Alignment, Gait Biomechanics, and Plantar Force in Crowe Type IV Hip Dysplasia After Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Mean Ten‐Year Follow‐Up Retrospective Cohort Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 459-473, March 2026.
This is the first study to examine the global alignment of the hip, knee, ankle, and lower limb after total hip arthroplasty in DDH Crowe type IV patients with a follow‐up period of more than 10 years. This is also the first study of its kind (as far as we know) in which both the unaffected and the affected sides were monitored, and full normalization ...

Increased Blood Flow and Tendon Swelling Precedes Vascular Expansion and Tissue Matrix Changes In Early Human Tendinopathy: A Potential Window for Superior Treatment Response

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 12, 27 February 2026.
Human participants with early‐ or chronic‐stage tendinopathy and healthy controls are investigated using ultrasound Doppler, 3T and 7T MRI, and tendon biopsies. Tendon swelling and hyperperfusion are evident early, while vascular growth and extracellular matrix changes are most pronounced in chronic tendinopathy. Early intervention may provide superior
