Stretching Exercises

Background: Plantar fasciitis is a self limiting disease, with only 10% of patient developing chronic condition even after ten months. We hypothesized that patient with chronic plantar fasciitis who are treated with standard plantar fascia stretching program can have a better functional outcome than those treated with Achilles tendon-stretching exercise.Method: Forty patients who had chronic plantar fasciitis for duration of at least ten months were randomized into one of two groups. Group A received plantar stretching exercise and Group B had Achilles tendon stretching program. All patients completed the pain subscale of Foot Function Index and a subject relevant outcome survey that incorporated generic and condition-specific outcome measures related to pain, function and satisfaction with treatment outcome.Result: The pain subscale scores of the Foot Function Index showed significantly better results at eight weeks for the patients managed with plantar fascia stretching program respect to item 1 (worst pain; p = 0.004) and item 2 (first steps in the morning; p =0.001). Similarly at ten months follow up, pain subscale score comparison was statistically significant for item 1 (p = 0.018) and item 2 (p =0.003).Conclusions: A treatment method of non-weight-bearing stretching exercises specific to plantar fascia is superior to the conventional method of weight-bearing Achilles tendon-stretching exercises for treating patients with chronic plantar fasciitis.Nepal Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.3(2) 2014: 84-88

Background: Patient-reported outcome measures serve as an invaluable tool in both the clinical and research setting to monitor a patient’s condition and efficacy of treatments over time. We aim to validate the Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) score for disorders of the lower extremity using the revised–Foot Function Index (rFFI) as a reference. The SANE score is a 1-question survey that may improve efficiency of outcome data collection in the clinical setting. Methods: Patient age, sex, visit diagnosis by ICD-10 code, SANE score, and rFFI score were collected retrospectively from 218 initial patient encounters between January 2015 through July 2017. Patients were included if they were 18 years or older and were excluded if they had incomplete SANE or rFFI data. Results of the two scores were compared using the Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficients, with correlation defined as excellent (>0.7), excellent-good (0.61-0.7), good (0.4-0.6), or poor (0.2-0.39). Diagnoses were categorized into 9 subgroups that were analyzed, including forefoot, plantar fasciitis, arthritis, deformity, fracture, tendinitis, osteochondral defect (OCD) of the talus, acute soft tissue trauma, and “other.” Results: The SANE score had good correlation with the overall rFFI score ( r = 0.51, P < .01). When comparing the SANE score to the rFFI subscores, there was good correlation with pain ( r = 0.42, P < .01), good correlation with stiffness ( r = 0.44, P < .01), poor correlation with activity ( r = 0.36, P <.01), good correlation with difficulty ( r = 0.52, P < .01), and poor correlation with social issues ( r = 0.39, P < .01). Subanalysis showed an excellent-good correlation between SANE and rFFI score for forefoot pathology ( r = 0.67, P < .01) and plantar fasciitis ( r = 0.63, P < .02), good correlation for arthritis ( r = 0.49, P < .04), deformity ( r = 0.60, P < .01), fracture ( r = 0.50, P < .01), and tendinitis ( r = 0.47, P < .02), and no significant correlation for OCD of the talus ( r = 0.56, P < .15) and acute soft tissue trauma ( r = 0.19, P < .32). Conclusion: The SANE score demonstrates excellent-good correlation with the rFFI for specific pathology including the forefoot and plantar fasciitis and has limited correlation with other pathology.

Background and Objectives: Plantar fasciitis is a common pathological condition that affects the hind foot. Management of plantar fasciitis employs use of various non-surgical and surgical treatment methods. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of steroid injection in the treatment of plantar fasciitis in adults. Materials and Methods: From January 2016 to June 2017, fifty patients aged >18 years with plantar fasciitis symptomatic for three months or more were injected with a single dose of methylprednisolone acetate with 2% lignocaine. Assessment was done using visual analogue scale (VAS) and foot function index (pain sub-scale). Patients were followed-up for a period of 6 months. Results:There was significant reduction in VAS score and improvement in foot function index at 1 and 3 month follow-up (p<0.001) as compared to pre-injection score but this VAS reduction or improvement in foot function index was not significant at 6 month follow-up (p=0.057 and 0.729 respectively). There were no major adverse effects of the steroid injection. Conclusion: A single dose of corticosteroid injection provides only a short term benefit in plantar fasciitis.

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common cause of heel pain. Injury to the plantar fascia results in loss of normally resilient in fascia. Fascia becomes stiffened and prone to re-injury, which resulting in a vicious cycle of persistent pain and inflammation. Though many therapies would produce better results, there was less exploration on fascial release therapy and k-tape. The purpose of the study is to identify the effect of MFR in addition to K-tape on chronic plantar fasciitis. This is a Quasi-experimental study with 48 participants. The ethical approval was obtained and the study was conducted in multiple physiotherapy centers in Namakkal district, Tamil Nadu. All the participants were selected based on selection criteria mainly those who fulfil any of the three from below, 1) Heel pain increases in the morning with first few steps following prolonged bed rest 2) Pain localized to the inferior heel 3) Pain decreases with activity such as walking or moving 4) Pain score is between 3—7 cms in 10 cm VAS. 24 participants in the experimental group receive myofascial release therapy along with k-tape for 6 weeks, 24 participants in the control group receive stretching along with k-tape for 6 weeks. The outcome measures used in this study are pain and foot function by numerical pain scale and foot function index respectively. Results were analyzed using SPSS 20.0, the results show that there were significant differences obtained between the myofascial release therapy with the k-tape group when compared to k- tape only group. There was a pain score of 10.82 ± 0.196 (p < 0.001) and foot function index score of 10.6 ± 3.85 (p < 0.001). This study concluded that the use of Myofascial release therapy with K-tape reduces pain scores and improves foot function in plantar fasciitis.

Purpose. The aim of the present study was to adapt the Foot Function Index-Revised Short Form (FFI-RS) questionnaire into Polish and verify its reliability and validity in a group of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods. The study included 211 patients suffering from RA. The FFI-RS questionnaire underwent standard linguistic adaptation and its psychometric parameters were investigated. The enrolled participants had been recruited for seven months as a convenient sample from the rheumatological hospital in Śrem (Poland). They represented different sociodemographic characteristics and were characterized as rural and city environments residents. Results. The mean age of the patients was 58.9±10.2 years. The majority of patients (85%) were female. The average final FFI-RS score was 62.9±15.3. The internal consistency was achieved at a high level of 0.95 in Cronbach’s alpha test, with an interclass correlation coefficient ranging between 0.78 and 0.84. A strong correlation was observed between the FFI-RS and Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) questionnaires. Conclusion. The Polish version of FFI-RS-PL indicator is an important tool for evaluating the functional condition of patients’ feet and can be applied in the diagnosis and treatment of Polish-speaking patients suffering from RA.
