Plan of Investigation of the Plantar Fascia in Rehabilitation/ Treatment/ Prevention

It is assumed plantar fascia has important role to support the arched structure of the foot (Gefen, 2002). Plantar fascia changes along its extension. It divides into splits either in horizontal or in sagittal plane. It attaches to the bones and soft tissues (Wearing et al., 2006). The objective of this research is to design a plan of investigation according to the non weight bearing landmarks and measurements of the foot which can be effective in lower limb rehabilitation/treatment/ prevention schedule. Method To identify non weight bearing landmarks. To identify the mid line of the plantar aspect of the foot. To calculate the measurements of the foot. To identify the location of the plantar fascia along its length in unloading and before modification in both feet. To register identified location of the plantar fascia in ultrasound image. The out come of this research can be resulted in more effective treatment in a short time, increasing successful team work in rehabilitation and increasing the percentage of prevention.
