NCT03506464 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 62

Last updated 2018-06-21

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Background: Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain in runners. No studies have described the short-term effects of myofascial release on plantar fasciitis using ultrasound.

Objectives: To describe the immediate sonoelastographic changes in the plantar fascia of amateur runners with fasciitis after applying a myofascial release technique.

Design: A single-centre, experimental and controlled study.

Method: Patients with plantar fasciitis and a group of healthy subjects will be examined using B-mode and real time sonoelastography scanning. Fascia thickness, echointensity and echovariation of the color histogram will be analyzed pre- and post intervention. A two-way (Group × Time) repeated measures ANOVA will be performed.
