It has been accepted plantar fascia thickness is a biomechanical variable. (Wearing et al., 2006, Garcia et al., 2008) Plantar fascia has long been connected to the kinematics and kinetics qualities of the ankle and foot. (Gefen, 2002) The objective of this research is better understanding the specific properties of the plantar fascia in living individuals.
- Analyze the previous studies and methods about plantar fascia properties.
- To find a method to study mechanical properties of the plantar fascia in living individual in static and locomotion.
- Plan of investigation was designed to recognize each location of the plantar fascia along its length on both feet.
- Scanning ultrasound images.
- Pressure marker, E-med and motion analyzer.
The outcome of this research can be resulted in arranging a physical medicine / rehabilitation schedule of the lower limb in treatment, prevention and rehabilitation according to the properties of the body of living individual, as close as possible. Additionally, rehabilitation schedule can be more effective and secondary problems can be decreased, also.
