“…The results of nonsurgical treatment in the 2 case series were inconsistent. While Saxena et al 29 reported a return to activity at a mean 5 weeks in 6 elite athletes after a 3- to 6-week period of complete unloading of the foot, followed by protected weightbearing in a boot, Schaarup et al 30 documented no ability to return to sport in a gymnast and a sprinter treated with an unloading boot for 6 weeks, foot orthoses, and physical therapy. On the other side, a return to the same level of performance within 12 months was documented in 2 gymnasts after surgical repair using 2 suture anchors.…”

Background: Plantar fasciopathy is a common orthopaedic condition that affects athletes and limits their performance. Purpose: To conduct a scoping review of the literature to summarize the evidence provided so far for the management of plantar fasciopathy in elite athletes and identify potential gaps in the current knowledge. Study Design: Scoping review; Level of evidence, 5. Methods: This scoping review followed the 6-stage methodological framework of Arksey and O’Malley and was registered in the Open Science Framework. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were used to identify eligible articles. After charting of data, studies were pooled into 3 categories: epidemiological/diagnostic studies, outcome research focused on plantar fasciitis or partial tears, and studies on the rupture of the plantar fascia. The modified Coleman Methodology Score was used to assess the quality of included articles. Results: Of 742 initial studies, 10 were selected (109 patients): 8 level 4 articles and 2 level 5 articles. In 4 studies (91 athletes), potential risk factors were discussed but not investigated (ie, preexistent thickening of the fascia, spike shoes, varus hindfoot/knee alignment). In 3 studies (6 athletes) focusing on plantar fasciitis, the nonsurgical treatment led to a satisfactory but poorly documented outcome. In 3 studies (12 athletes), the rupture of the fascia was treated nonoperatively with contrasting results, while surgery was performed only in 2 cases. The mean modified Coleman Methodology Score was 19 (range, 3-42), demonstrating overall poor methodology. Conclusion: The limited number of studies and their poor quality do not allow to define the gold standard treatment of plantar fasciopathy in elite athletes. Until high-quality studies are provided, clinicians have to rely on the available literature regarding the nonprofessional or nonathletic population to make the best evidence-based decision.

“…Stiffness is caused by the movement of the foot joints in the muscle contraction of the surface aponeurosis ligament tissue changing plantar fascia tension (Chun Long Liu, Ji Ping Zhou, Peng Tao Sun, Bai-Zhen Chen, Jun Zhang, 2020). The aponeurosis ligament network links several bone constituents in the mechanism of movement of the arch of the foot surface (Susanne Olesen Schaarup, Peder Burgaard, Finn Elkjaer Johannsen, 2020).…”

When performing physical activity and sports, men and women are at risk of the plantar fascia that could decrease foot functions when walking, running, and jumping. Thus it requires accurate prediction results in handling it. This study aimed to determine whether clinical findings can help plantar fascia flexibility treatments and managements through ankle stretching and self-massage interventions on posture balance based on gender. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a 2x2 factorial design for male and female categories. The population of this study was 300 students, while the samples were 40 students aged 19-26 years, consisting of 20 males and 20 females. The sampling technique used stratified random sampling. Furthermore, the ankle dorsiflexion intervention was performed by stretching the ankle to overcome plantar stiffness. For self-massage, the golf ball roll relaxation gave a relaxing effect on plantar pressure. The ankle dorsiflexion and golf ball roll relaxation were performed for 45 seconds. The data collection instrument of this study was a standing stork test as a measurement reference. Data analysis used two-way ANOVA statistical test with the help of SPSS application. The results showed that the significance value of comparing ankle stretching and self-massage technique effects for plantar fascia on the posture balance based on gender was (p0.05). The significance value of posture balance in terms of gender was (p) = 0.417. Meanwhile, the difference between ankle stretching and self-massage interaction based on gender was (p) = 0.000. This study indicates that these findings can assist the treatment and management of plantar fascia flexibility through ankle stretching and self-massage interventions to balance the posture in terms of gender. Treatment for plantar fascia flexibility is more effective with ankle stretching.
