We found a consistent clinical association between higher BMI and plantar fasciopathy. This association may differ between athletic and non-athletic subgroups. While consistent evidence supports a range of bone and soft tissue abnormalities, there is lack of evidence for the dogma of clinical and mechanical measures of foot and ankle function. Clinicians can use this information in shared decision-making.

“…However, not all patients exhibit such morphologic changes [4,10]. In addition, hyperemia has been suggested as an additional diagnostic criterion for plantar fasciitis; however, most individuals do not exhibit increased soft tissue vascularity on routine Doppler ultrasound [11]. The changes in the mechanical properties of the plantar fascia, such as elasticity, have been reported in patients with plantar fasciitis [12,13].…”

“…Although some investigations have demonstrated an association between Doppler flow and symptomatic plantar fasciitis, others have demonstrated Doppler flow in a small percentage of asymptomatic individuals (5%-7%). 42,43 However, to our knowledge, no prior investigation has specifically focused on runners. Forty-four percent (17 of 39) of runners in this investigation had Doppler flow within the plantar fascia.…”

lantar heel pain is a common condition affecting endurance runners and accounts for approximately 8% of all runningrelated injuries. 1 Although plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain in the athletic population, 2,3 the differential diagnosis of heel pain is broad and includes plantar heel pad syndrome (also referred to as fat pad syndrome), calcaneal fractures, regional nerve entrapments (eg, Baxter nerve), and referred pain syndromes. 2 The role of musculoskeletal sonography in the evaluation of plantar heel pain has been well established with respect to the plantar fascia. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] More specifically, plantar fascia thickening (>4 mm), hypoecho genicity, heterogeneity, and neovascularization are considered reliable markers of symptomatic plantar fasciitis, whereas a normalappearing plantar fascia warrants consideration of alternative causes of heel pain. 1,3,4,9,[12][13][14] On the contrary, the role of sonography Mederic M.

Sayeed, MD, MPH, MEng, Jay Smith, MD Received December 31, 2014, ORIGINAL RESEARCHObjectives-The primary purpose of this investigation was to determine the prevalence and spectrum of asymptomatic sonographically determined structural changes in the plantar fascia and plantar heel pad among experienced runners without a history of heel pain.Methods-Thirty-nine asymptomatic runners without a history of plantar heel pain were recruited. The following sonographic measures were recorded: power Doppler sonography in the plantar heel pad and plantar fascia, echo texture of the plantar heel pad, uncompressed heel pad thickness, compressed heel pad thickness, heel pad compressibility index, plantar fascia thickness, and plantar fascia echo texture. Conclusions-At least 1 potentially abnormal sonographic finding was present in each heel of all asymptomatic runners in this study. Consequently, sonographic abnormalities in the plantar heel should be interpreted within the clinical context when evaluating runners. Results-Doppler
