“…18 The above mentioned studies have been undertaken in literate communities with good patient compliance while we faced certain problems during this study. 5 The limitations of this study were lack of regular physiotherapy, NSAIDS and short follow up period. Many patients included in the our study had already taken several types of medications either by themselves or from local practitioners, Hakeems or traditional bone-setters.…”

Objectives: To compare Intra-lesional corticosteroid injection with autologous blood injection therapy in plantar fasciitis in terms of mean pain score. Study Design: Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT). Place and Duration: At the Department of Orthopaedics, Benazir Bhutto Hospital, Rawalpindi, for a duration of 01 year i.e. from 7th May 2016 to 6th May 2017. Patients and Methods: Patients with unilateral plantar heel pain fulfilling the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Patients were randomly allocated into two groups; A and B. Group A were injected 2mL corticosteroid injection in heel. Those in Group B were injected with 2mL of autologous blood mixed with 1 mL of 2% lidocaine. Outcome was assessed using Visual Analog Score (VAS) at 3 months. Results: A total of 180 patients with unilateral plantar heel pain were included. Mean age of patients was 49.98±11.26 years. 91 (50.6%) were male and 89 (49.4%) females. At 12-weeks post-treatment, mean pain score was significantly high in group A than group B (3.24±1.05 vs. 2.54±1.01; p=0.0005). Conclusion: Autologous blood was more effective than corticosteroid injection in patients with plantar fasciitis as was seen at 3 months follow-up.

“…Foot and lower limbs muscles also play a pivotal role in movement patterns of gait and run cycle and, as expected, in the onset and progression of PF. Noteworthy, it was highlighted a difference in rearfoot load in recreational runners with PF, with respect to the stage of disease and with respect to the healthy runners 19 , maybe related to plantar fascia stiffness 20 . This is particularly interesting concerning the development of specific therapeutic and rehabilitation strategies, although more data about plantar loading in athletes are needed.…”

SummaryBackground: Plantar fasciitis (PF) is reported in different sports mainly in running and soccer athletes. Purpose of this study is to conduct a systematic review of published literature concerning the diagnosis and treatment of PF in both recreational and élite athletes. The review was conducted and reported in accordance with the PRIS-MA statement. Methods: The following electronic databases were searched: PubMed, Cochrane Library and Scopus. As far as PF diagnosis, we investigated the electronic databases from January 2006 to June 2016, whereas in considering treatments all data in literature were investigated. Results: For both diagnosis and treatment, 17 studies matched inclusion criteria. The results have highlighted that the most frequently used diagnostic techniques were Ultrasonography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Conventional, complementary, and alternative treatment approaches were assessed. Conclusions: In reviewing literature, we were unable to find any specific diagnostic algorithm for PF in athletes, due to the fact that no different diagnostic strategies were used for athletes and non-athletes. As for treatment, a few literature data are available and it makes difficult to suggest practice guidelines. Specific studies are necessary to define the best treatment algorithm for both recreational and élite athletes. Level of evidence: Ib.

“…Of interest, a recent prospective study found that recreational runners who developed plantar heel pain had greater rearfoot plantar loading compared to uninjured runners. 25 Further, interventions that reduce vertical loading at the rearfoot, such as foot orthoses and shock-absorbing inserts, 26 have been shown to be clinically effective in the management of plantar heel pain. 27,28 As increasing step rate by 10% during running also reduces rearfoot plantar pressures, investigating whether it could also be beneficial in the prevention and management of plantar heel pain appears to have some merit.…”

Increasing preferred step rate during running is a commonly used strategy in the management of running-related injuries. This study investigated the effect of different step rates on plantar pressures during running. Thirty-two healthy runners ran at a comfortable speed on a treadmill at five step rates (preferred, ±5%, and ±10%). For each step rate, plantar pressure data were collected using the pedar-X in-shoe system.Compared to running with a preferred step rate, a 10% increase in step rate signifi- P=.032) at the rearfoot. Changing step rate by 5% provided no effect on plantar pressures, and no differences in plantar pressures were observed at the medial forefoot, lateral forefoot or hallux between the step rates. This study's findings indicate that increasing preferred step rate by 10% during running will reduce plantar pressures at the rearfoot and midfoot, while decreasing step rate by 10% will increase plantar pressures at the rearfoot. However, changing preferred step rate by 5% will provide no effect on plantar pressures, and forefoot pressures are unaffected by changes in step rate.
