Association between plantar fascia vascularity and morphology and foot dysfunction in individuals with chronic plantar fasciitis.
Single-cohort laboratory-based study. ⋯ Individuals with unilateral chronic plantar fasciitis demonstrated significantly greater vascularity and thickened fascia on the affected side compared to the unaffected side and also to healthy controls. Fascia vascularity was associated independently with self-perceived pain, and both fascia vascularity and thickness were associated with foot dysfunction in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis. Public trials registry: Current Controlled Trials, ISRCTN49594569.
