Back ground: study was conducted to determine the frequency of plantar fasciitis among three different universities students due to improper shoes. It was cross-sectional study. Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of plantar fascia; plantar fascia is a thick connective tissue that forms the medial arch of foot. Improper shoes cause constant pressure and irritation on plantar fascia that leads to inflammation. When someone wears improper shoes, pronation activity of the foot decreased and it can lead to plantar fasciitis. Objective: The objective of study was to determine the frequency of plantar fasciitis due to improper shoes among three different universities students. Material and Methods: Study was cross-sectional and the data was collected from university students. Data was collected by using questionnaire and by applying statistical procedures results were concluded. Results: There were the following results in this study as, 35.5% participants without pain, 45% with mild pain, 16% with moderate pain and 3.6% with severe pain. There were 84% participants with single etiology, 13% participants with multiple etiology and 3% participants with nerve entrapment. There were 31 participants with no pain, 49 participants with mild pain, 11 participants with moderate pain and 2 participants with severe pain between ages 20-25 years. And between ages 26-30 there were 29 participants with no pain, 27 with mild pain, 16 with moderate pain and 4 participants with severe pain. Conclusion: Study concluded that 55.6% participants were between ages of 20-25 years. 54.4% participants were females, 59.2% participants were with no pain, 84% participants were with single etiology that is plantar fasciopathy. There were mostly participants suffered with mild pain and only 3.6% participants showed response with severe pain. There were mostly participants suffered with single etiology and the number of affected participants with plantar fasciitis slightly increased with age.

Introduction: Plantar fasciitis is an inflammatory process of multifactorial etiology that affects the origin of the plantar fascia and surrounding structures. A difference in length between lower limbs is relatively common within the population and can sometimes cause changes in biomechanics and symptoms. The objective of this study is to evaluate the relationship between lower limb dysmetria and plantar fasciitis. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed to measure the length of the lower limbs by scanometry in patients diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. Other risk factors, such as body mass index, foot shape and the presence of plantar calcaneal spur, were also assessed in foot radiographs. Results: Of the 54 patients included in the study, 44.4% were men, and the mean age was 50.38 (23-73 years); 81.5% had pain in one foot, and 53.7% had feet that were considered plantigrade. We observed dysmetria in 88.9% of the sample, with a mean of 0.749 cm (SD ±0.63). In addition, 46.3% feet with pain showed calcaneal spurs on the radiographs. Conclusion: Approximately 90% of patients showed lower-limb dysmetria and, in most cases, the side with the shorter limb was affected by plantar fasciitis

Background: Plantar fasciitis is a common problem caused by thickening of the plantar fascia. The normal plantar fascia thickness ranged between 2-3 mm and it was generally accepted that value more than 4mm was considered pathologic. Objective: to identify normal plantar fascia thickness in adults using ultrasonography. Methods: This is a cross sectional study measuring the thickness of plantar fascia in 145 subjects with no history of heel pain. Plantar fascia thickness was measured in both feet using an ultrasound. Age, height and weight were recorded and analysed. Results: As much as 145 subjects were included in this study. Male to female ratio was 0.7. Mean age was 44 and body mass index (BMI) was mostly within normal range. Plantar fascia thickness in male was 2.71 ± 0.48 mm in right foot, and 2.74 ± 0.47 mm in left foot. Fascia thickness in female was 2.55 ± 0.50 mm in right foot, and 2.57 ± 0.45 mm in left foot. There was a significant plantar fascia thickness difference between male and female (p = 0.035 in right foot, and p=0.04 in left foot). Age, weight and BMI had a significant correlation towards plantar fascia thickness. In multivariate analysis, age and BMI revealed to have a linear correlation to plantar fascia thickness Conclusion: Age and BMI were found to be the best predictive factor of plantar fascia thickness.

COVID-19 pandemic is now a great headache for the world population. Respiratory symptoms are the main presentation of COVID-19. However, musculoskeletal pain, headache, loss of taste and smell sense, and neurological manifestations may occur. Identification of patterns of musculoskeletal pain, fatigue and physical health status in COVID-19 is crucial. In this cross sectional study, a total 380 individuals with COVID-19 were recruited from the population following selection criteria. Pain varied widely in hip, neck, leg and calf muscles, back and spine, shoulder, arms and hand, and other parts of the body among the respondents. Inconstant, among respondents of younger age group (aged ≤50 year), 37.59% had moderate pain, 6.77% had severe pain, 13.91% had mild pain, and 41.17% had no pain. On the other hand, among older respondents (aged >50 year) 47.37% had moderate pain, 25.44% had severe pain, 13.15% had mild pain, and 14.03% had no pain. The differences between two groups was statistically significant (p<0.05). However, there was no difference in frequency of pain between males and females. Those respondents who had pain was reported having physical health worse than the average compared to that of those who had no pain. BSMMU J 2021; 14 (COVID -19 Supplement): 1-7

Objective: To determine the effectiveness of Extra oral inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) technique in terms of pain during injection, onset of anesthesia and pain during extraction of mandibular teeth. Methodology: This cross sectional study was carried out at the department of Oral & Maxillo-facial Surgery, Institute of Dentistry, Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences Jamshoro / Hyderabad, from May 2018 to November 2018. All patients in the age range of 18-45 years regardless of gender and having sub-mucous fibrosis were included. Affected teeth were diagnosed via clinical examination, intra oral periapical radiograph (IOPAR) and Orthopantomogram (OPG). Mandibular teeth were anesthetised by extra oral inferior alveolar nerve block. Visual analog scale was used to record severity of the pain during the injection of anesthesia and during the extraction. Onset of the anesthesia was recorded in minutes. Data was documented via self-made proforma and analyzed by SPSS 20 version 20. Results: Overall 64 cases were studied. Out of which 34 were males and 30 were females. In most of the cases pain was not found, while 8 cases showed mild pain and 4 showed moderate pain. During extraction, there was no pain among 46 patients, while 10 had mild pain and only 8 had moderate pain. Conclusion: It was concluded that extra oral inferior alveolar nerve block technique is the best treatment option with less pain during injection, rapid onset of anesthesia, and less pain during extraction.

Abstract Background Despite the established relevance of ultrasonography and assessment of pressure pain thresholds in patients with plantar fasciopathy, patient and probe positioning has been mostly ignored and are not necessarily reported in research. The primary aim of this study was to compare plantar fascia thickness in stretched and relaxed positions in patients with plantar fasciopathy. The secondary aim was to compare plantar heel pressure pain thresholds in these positions. Methods In this cross-sectional study, we measured the plantar fascia thickness with ultrasonography, and localised pressure pain thresholds using pressure algometry of 20 patients with plantar fasciopathy. These were assessed bilaterally, with the plantar fascia in both a stretched and relaxed position. In the stretched position, toes were maximally dorsiflexed, while in the relaxed position participants’ feet were hanging freely over the end of the table. Results The plantar fascia of the most symptomatic foot was significantly thicker when stretched compared with the relaxed position (sagittal: mean difference 0.2 mm, 95%CI: 0.1–0.4, P = 0.013; frontal: mean difference − 0.27, 95%CI: − 0.49 to − 0.06, P = 0.014). The plantar fascia was significantly thinner in the frontal plane compared with the sagittal plane in both positions (stretched: mean difference − 0.2 mm, 95%CI: − 0.42 to − 0.03, P = 0.025; relaxed: mean difference − 0.3 mm, 95%CI:-0.49 to − 0.08, P = 0.008). There was no difference between pressure pain thresholds in stretched or relaxed positions in either foot (P > 0.4). Conclusions The plantar fascia was significantly thicker in a stretched compared with a relaxed position and in the sagittal compared with the frontal plane, but differences were smaller than the standard deviation. Pressure pain thresholds were not different between the positions. These results highlight the importance of how ultrasonography is performed and reported in research to allow for replication. Trial registration The study was pre-registered September 25th, 2017 on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03291665).

Background: Ultrasonography (USG) is regarded as the gold standard to differentiate normal plantar fascia and plantar fasciitis. Conventional radiography or plain X-ray is typically used to exclude differential diagnosis. Lately, conventional radiography has been digitalized and leads to better visualization of the soft tissue. However, it is not known whether digital radiography evaluation for calcaneus area, both qualitative and quantitative, has a similar diagnostic value as USG findings. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate whether there is a strong correlation between digital radiographic and USG findings for diagnosing plantar fasciitis.Methods: This is a cross sectional study examining adult patients (>18 years old) presenting with inferior heel pain. Plantar aponeurosis thickness was measured by digital radiography and ultrasonography; measurement was performed three times in each modality, and the average value was recorded. Fat stranding, presence of calcaneal enthesophyte, and microfracture were also evaluated in digital radiography. Measurement results were classified into plantar fasciitis diagnosis using the cut-off value 4 mm.Results: There was no significant correlation between plantar aponeurosis thickness measured by digital radiography and by ultrasonography (r=0.069, p=0.688). There was no significant association between plantar fasciitis diagnosis by digital radiography and ultrasonography (p=0.162). However, digital radiography showed good sensitivity to detect plantar fasciitis using a cut-off value of >4 mm plantar fascia thickness.Conclusion: Digital radiography might be used to aid definitive diagnosis for plantar fasciitis.

Background: The plantar fascia can further encounter a form of pathological degeneration called as plantar fasciitis that is one of the most common causes of heel pain. Plantar fasciitis is a multifactorial in origin and works as a mechanical overloading reaction to multiple instances of microtrauma. Purpose: This research will rule out the prevalence of plantar fasciitis in nurses both male and female with the help of windlass test and also make us aware about the correlation of plantar fasciitis among males and females. Methodology: A simple random sampling of 100 healthy nurses, 70 female nurses and 30 male nurses from Pravara Institute, Loni was included. The participants included were between age group of 20-50 years and were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Windlass test was performed in all the recruited participants. The test was done both in non-weightbearing (NWB) and weightbearing (WB) position. If pain was reproduced, the subject then marked the location of the pain. If pain was provoked then the test was considered positive. Result: The windlass test (weight bearing and non-weight bearing) showed that out of 100 participants 21% tested positive; out of which 17% females and 4% males responded positive in the study. Conclusion: The study concluded that female nurses are more prone to develop plantar fasciitis when compared with male nurses. KEY WORDS: Plantar fascia, Plantar fasciitis, Plantar fascia thickness, Pain, Nurses, Windlass test.

Background: Myofascial pain syndrome is the most common temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. Objective: To measure pain severity among patients with temporomandibular myofascial pain syndrome using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and to relate pain severity to age and gender. Methods: A cross-sectional study of patients who presented with TMJ pain and were diagnosed with TMJ myofascial pain syndrome was conducted. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and were statistically analysed. Results: Out of a total of 603 patients, 18 (3.0%) had temporomandibular myofascial pain syndrome. They were aged 22-78 years with female preponderance (11; 61.1%) and a female-to-male ratio of 1.6:1. The majority of the patients had mild pain (7/18; 38.9%). The mean VAS score for the patients in this study was 5.8+2.6. The female patients experienced more severe pain (5/11; 45.4%), compared to males. Conclusion: There was a female preponderance in TMJ myofascial pain syndrome, with a mean VAS pain score of 5.8+2.6. Severe pain was mostly reported by female patients while the male patients often present with mild pain.
