Title: Plantar fasciitis: a new experimental approach to treatment
Abstract: Plantar fasciitis has been and remains one of the most common pathologic conditions of the lower extremity. Patients diagnosed with plantar fasciitis are treated conservatively with various degrees of success. This article presents a review of the literature pertaining to treatment of plantar fasciitis as well as introduces a modified experimental footplate, which potentially may improve the outcome and shorten the time of therapeutic regimen. A description of the suggested design is also presented. A randomized clinical study will follow this discussion to determine the effectiveness and applicability of the suggested design.
