Summary

The purpose of this trial is to investigate whether a self-managed resistance training protocol is more effective than a predetermined resistance training protocol in improving the Foot Health Status Questionnaire pain domain score in individuals with plantar fasciopathy after a 12-week intervention.

Conditions

  • Plantar Fasciopathy

Interventions

OTHER

Self-managed protocol

Participants will be asked to complete a heel raise standing with the forefoot on a step. The toes are maximally dorsi flexed by placing a towel underneath them. The participant is instructed to perform a heel raise to maximal plantar flexion in the ankle joint and afterwards to lower the heel to maximal dorsiflexion. Supporting oneself for balance by placing the hands on a wall or a rail is allowed. The participants in the self-managed group are instructed in performing the exercise with a load as heavy as possible but no higher than 8RM and for as many sets as possible every other day.

OTHER

Predetermined protocol

Participants will be asked to complete a heel raise standing with the forefoot on a step. The toes are maximally dorsi flexed by placing a towel underneath them. The participant is instructed to perform a heel raise to maximal plantar flexion in the ankle joint and afterwards to lower the heel to maximal dorsiflexion. Supporting oneself for balance by placing the hands on a wall or a rail is allowed. The participants in the predetermined group are instructed in performing the exercise at a 12RM for three sets during week 1 and 2, at a 10RM for four sets during week 3 and 4, and at an 8RM for five sets from week 5 and onwards.
