Backround:
Plantar Fasciopathy (PF) is soreness or irritability experienced underneath infero-medial aspect of the heel. It is a multifactorial disorder where myofascial involvement also seems to be associated with it, in which, muscles of posterior thigh, leg and foot muscles are affected. Trigger points in these muscles may interfere with biomechanics and normal functioning of the lower limb. Objective: To find an association between trigger points of the posterior thigh, leg and foot muscles and plantar fasciopathy. Study design: A cross sectional study. Methods: 100 patients with plantar fasciopathy who fulfilled inclusion criteria were included in this study. They were examined for trigger points by manual palpation in posterior thigh, leg and foot muscles. Totally 15 muscles were examined on both affected and unaffected side. Results: Results showed that myofascial trigger points were more prevalent in medial gastrocnemius (98%, Chi-square: 110.07, p Conclusion: Plantar fasciopathy is strongly associated with trigger points of medial gastrocnemius, quadratus plantae followed by soleus, tibialis posterior, abductor hallucis and flexor hallucis longus. |
