The Physician and Sportsmedicine
|December 23, 2017
Summary
Plantar fasciitis causes heel pain, often worse in the morning. Effective management involves treating inflammation, correcting causes, and rehabilitation, with tension night splints showing promise.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Sports Medicine
- Physical Therapy
Background:
- Plantar fasciitis is a prevalent overuse injury causing heel pain.
- Pain is typically most severe upon initial arising.
- Contributing factors include biomechanical issues, training errors, and degenerative changes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To outline a comprehensive management strategy for plantar fasciitis.
- To highlight the role of a multi-faceted treatment approach.
- To evaluate the efficacy of tension night splints.
Main Methods:
- A three-part management approach is detailed.
- Focus on treating the inflammatory lesion.
- Correction of precipitating factors and graduated rehabilitation are emphasized.
Main Results:
- The described management strategy addresses key aspects of plantar fasciitis.
- Tension night splints demonstrate encouraging outcomes in preliminary assessments.
Conclusions:
- A structured, three-part approach is recommended for plantar fasciitis.
- Tension night splints represent a promising therapeutic option for heel pain management.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
5.7K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

The human leg comprises an intricate system of muscles that facilitate the movement of feet and toes. Within this system, the muscles are categorized into the anterior, lateral, and posterior compartments, each with a unique set of muscles carrying out specific functions.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment includes muscles that contribute to the dorsiflexion of the foot. This compartment houses the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, and extensor digitorum longus muscles....
