Ultrasonography features of the intrinsic foot muscles in patients with and without plantar fasciitis: A novel case-control research study
2021
IntroductionPlantar fasciitis (PF) is the most common cause of heel pain.(1) This condition was described as a degenerative syndrome associated with pain, lack of functionality and stiffness on the plantar fascia. The aim of the present study was to compare with ultrasound imaging (USI) the thickness and cross-sectional area of the intrinsic foot muscles between individuals with and without plantar fasciitis (PF).Material and methodsA total of 64 volunteers from 18 to 55 years were recruited for the present study. The sample was divided in two groups: A group, composed of participants diagnosed by PF (n = 32) and B group, composed by healthy participants (n = 32).ResultsUSI measurements for…
Reliability of Y-Balance Test y Wight Bearing Lunge Test for the clinical-functional evolution of plantar fasciitis
2018
[Resumen] Objetivos: Los objetivos de nuestro estudio han sido determinar en pacientes con FP unilateral la fiabilidad intraobservador del instrumento Y- Balance Test (YBT) y la prueba Wight Bearing Lunge Test (WBLT) medida con el inclinómetro de un telefono movil inteligente. Métodos: Estudio transversal y observacional, realizado con 16 pacientes (9 mujeres y 7 hombres). Resultados: Los resultados obtenidos revelan una excelente fiabilidad relativa intraobservador. El YBT mostró un CCI de 0’946; mientras que las medidas con inclinómetro obtuvieron un CCI de 0’992. En el YBT se apreció una asociación de variables estadísticamente significativa en la dirección posteromedial (p=0’004) y en e…
