Ultrasound of the plantar foot: a guide for the assessment of plantar intrinsic muscles

Journal of Ultrasonography, 2023
Plantar intrinsic muscles play a pivotal role in posture control and gait dynamics. They help maintain the longitudinal and transverse arches of the foot, and they regulate the degree and velocity of arch deformation during walking or running ...

Association of Obesity and Plantar Fasciitis in Patients With Plantar Heel Spurs

Foot & Ankle Orthopaedics, 2023
Background: Although its pathophysiology is not clear, the presence of a plantar heel spur has been considered a cause of heel pain in plantar fasciitis. This study investigated demographic and radiographic differences between a plantar fasciitis patient

Plantar fasciitis

BMJ, 2012
INTRODUCTION In this article we look at the aetiology of plantar fasciitis, the other common differentials for heel pain and the evidence available to support each of the major management options. We also review the literature and discuss the condition. METHODS A literature search was performed using PubMed and MEDLINE®.

An Investigation of Regional Plantar Soft Tissue Hardness and Its Potential Correlation with Plantar Pressure Distribution in Healthy Adults

Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2021
Background. The plantar soft tissue plays a critical role in absorbing shocks and attenuating excessive stresses during walking. Plantar soft tissue property and plantar pressure are critical information for footwear design and clinical assessment.

Postural Changes During Exteroceptive Thin Plantar Stimulation: The Effect of Prolonged Use and Different Plantar Localizations

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2019
Somatosensory information arising from the foot has an important role in posture as well as visual and vestibular cues. Our hypothesis is that the effects of prolonged stimulation are greater than those of short stimulation and that varying the plantar ...

The Influence of Heel Height on Strain Variation of Plantar Fascia During High Heel Shoes Walking-Combined Musculoskeletal Modeling and Finite Element Analysis

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
The therapeutic benefit of high heel shoes (HHS) for plantar fasciitis treatment is controversial. It has been suggested that plantar fascia strain can be decreased by heel elevation of shoes which helps in body weight redistribution throughout the ...
