Objectives: To gain a better understanding of the anthropometric, biomechanical and treatment statistics for a diversified population affected with plantar fasciitis. Design: A retrospective case review. Setting: The Allan McGavin Sports Medicine Centre, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. Subjects: Referral patients seen by attending physicians from 1998–2000. Age 43·1 years (±3·81), weight 72·2 kg (±14·7), height 1·61 m (±0·9), BMI 24·7 kg/m2 (±5·16), number of years active 10·6 (±10·42), weekly activity 5·6 h (±8·6). Results: Over half (54·7%) of patients with plantar fasciitis were reported as having excessive pronation. The frequencies for other biomechanical variables include: genu valgum (20·2%), genu varum (16·9%), pes cavus arch (10·1%), and leg length inequality (6·7%). A prior history of injury to the ankle/foot area was reported in 21·7% of patients and training errors were felt to be the cause in 17·2% of cases. A majority of patients were prescribed stretching and strengthening exercises (76·8%), and orthotics and NSAIDs were given to 49·1% and 41·6% respectively. Of the 78 patients for whom follow-up data was available, 17·9% claimed to have complete resolution of symptoms, and 39·7% reported having 75% improvement or better. |
