“…However, in the process of practical application, due to the lack of quantitative measurement of image features and the difference of people's visual perception, the visual evaluation under the guidance of ultrasound is time-consuming, and the accuracy is still affected by the doctor's clinical experience [ 9 ]. With the development of AI in the medical field, more AI technologies are applied in medical intelligence decision diagnosis.…”

“…There are some shortcomings, such as inaccurate location of the treatment target, too much peeling, or insufficient loosening, which is very easy to cause unnecessary damage to the surrounding tissue [ 8 ]. With the development of ultrasound medicine, musculoskeletal ultrasound can accurately provide the location and qualitative judgment of soft tissue lesions and can clearly show plantar metatarsal fascia, calcaneal tubercle, long metatarsal ligament, flexor digitorum brevis, tibial nerve, posterior tibial artery, and hyperplastic bone spur [ 9 ]. PF can be diagnosed when calcaneal tubercle bone shows olecranon-like high echo, metatarsal fascia thickness exceeding 4 mm, localized thickening, hypoechoic, or calcified focus formation.…”

Objective. To explore the effect of artificial intelligence (AI) technology combined with ultrasound-guided needle knife intervention in the treatment of plantar fasciitis (PF) on pain, fascia thickness, and ankle and foot function. Methods. A total of 130 patients with PF treated in our hospital from January 2019 to April 2021 were enrolled. The patients were randomly assigned into the control group and the study group. The control group received ultrasound-guided needle knife interventional therapy, and the study group received AI technology combined with ultrasound-guided needle knife interventional therapy. The curative effect, VAS score, plantar fascia thickness, plantar fascia elasticity score, plantar fascia blood flow index, and AOFAS score were investigated. Results. The total effective rate of the study group was higher compared to that of the control ( P < 0.05 ). There exhibited no significant difference in VAS score before treatment, but the VAS score of the study group was lower compared to that of the control group at 2, 4, and 8 weeks after treatment. There exhibited no significant difference in plantar fascia thickness before treatment ( P > 0.05 ), but after treatment, the plantar fascia thickness in the study group was lower compared to that in the control ( P < 0.05 ). The plantar fascia thickness in the study group was lower compared to that in the control at 2, 4, and 8 weeks after treatment ( P < 0.05 ). In terms of the plantar fascia elasticity score, there exhibited no significant difference before treatment ( P > 0.05 ), but the plantar fascia elasticity score of the study group was lower compared to that of the control at 2, 4, and 8 weeks after treatment ( P < 0.05 ). There exhibited no significant difference in plantar fascia blood flow index before treatment ( P > 0.05 ), but after treatment, the plantar fascia blood flow index in the study group was higher compared to that in the control ( P < 0.05 ). The plantar fascia blood flow index in the study group was higher compared to that in the control at 2, 4, and 8 weeks after treatment ( P < 0.05 ). There exhibited no significant difference in the AOFAS score before treatment, but after treatment, the AOFAS score of the study group was higher compared to that of the control at 2, 4, and 8 weeks after treatment. Conclusion. Patients with PF receive AI technology combined with ultrasound-guided needle knife interventional therapy, which can effectively relieve pain and improve fascia thickness and ankle-foot function. Thus, AI technology combined with ultrasound-guided needle knife interventional therapy has the advantages of convenient operation, safety, and effectiveness, which is worthy of clinical application.

“…Having said that, some studies focused on other pathologies and conditions in which these bandages were used with other adjuvant techniques, such as the placement of plantar support with reinforcement of the internal longitudinal arch [4], the application of ultrasound [6] of shock waves [37] or stretching of the posterior musculature of the lower extremities [5]. Finally, Bahar-Ozdemir and Atan [37] introduced kinesiotape using the low-dye tape technique under the name kinesio low-dye tape and compared it with shock waves and a placebo. In some cases, the available studies had a high risk of bias or low methodological quality [17].…”

“…An important limitation to be noted is that therapy with tape is not considered a treatment that resolves plantar fasciitis by itself, and clinicians usually combine this solution with other options, as supported in the literature. For instance, the placement of a plantar support with reinforcement of the internal longitudinal arch [4], the application of ultrasound [6], shock waves [37], or the stretching of the musculature of the lower extremities [5], among others. Yet, one strength of this study has been to demonstrate its usefulness and efficacy in reducing pain in an acute phase, regardless of whether or not the tape is combined with another therapy.…”

Background: Bandages are commonly used to relieve pain in patients with plantar fasciitis. The goal was to compare the effects of using kinesiotape versus low-dye tape in the acute phase of plantar fasciitis on pain and comfort measures. Methods: Forty individuals with plantar fasciitis were allocated to the kinesiotape or low-dye tape interventions. The patients were assessed at baseline and every 24 h until the fifth day. The primary measure was a visual analog scale of pain. The other measures were comfort, mobility, durability, personal hygiene, sweating, and allergies. The effects were compared with an ANOVA test, 95% CI. Results: Kinesiotape was more effective in reducing pain; the greater effect occurred during the first day, with a between-group difference of 2.0 (95% CI: 1.8 to 2.2). The pain differences between the treatments progressively reduced each day from the second day. Kinesiotape offered significantly higher performance than low-dye tape in mobility, comfort, and comfort in hygiene, sweating, and durability, with a large effect size d > 0.8. Conclusions: Kinesiotape could be more effective than low-dye tape in relieving pain in patients with plantar fasciitis, with a significant clinical impact on the first day of treatment. Kinesiotape can also provide higher performance in terms of comfort.

“…The interventions for the PHP group included selected conservative therapies that have been shown to be effective for PHP in previous reports. Specifically, physiotherapy consisted of stretching the plantar fascia [ 14 ], training the plantar intrinsic muscles [ 15 , 16 ], strength training the plantar flexor ankle musculature [ 17 , 18 ], taping [ 19 , 20 ], and ultrasound therapy [ 21 ]. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy was also administered to patients who desired it.…”

Background/Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between posterior tibial artery blood flow velocity and plantar heel pain (PHP). Methods: The PHP group comprised patients diagnosed with plantar fasciitis with plantar heel pain during gait, and the control group comprised healthy participants without plantar heel pain. The peak systolic velocity of the posterior tibial artery was measured using ultrasonography; it was measured three times on each side, and the mean value was calculated. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to calculate the peak systolic velocity cutoff value for plantar heel pain. Results: 23 patients (age 58.0 ± 16.5 years; 13 males and 10 females) and 23 healthy participants (age 51.3 ± 17.3 years; 10 males and 13 females) formed the PHP and control groups, respectively. Peak systolic velocity on the affected side was significantly greater in the PHP group (44.1 ± 13.1 cm/s) than in the control group (32.7 ± 5.9 cm/s). No significant difference was observed between the left and right sides in the PHP (7.1 ± 9.8 cm/s) and control (3.7 ± 3.0 cm/s) groups. A cutoff value of 38.2 cm/s was observed on the affected side. Conclusions: We quantified the increase in posterior tibial artery blood flow velocity in patients with plantar heel pain. Peak systolic velocity measurements can aid in quantitatively evaluating these patients. This study was registered as a clinical trial (UMIN000046875) on 1 October 2021.
