Factors assoicated with plantar fasciitis
This retrospective case control study in the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine on Biomechanical and anatomic factors associated with a history of plantar fasciitis in female runners concluded that:
A significantly greater maximum instantaneous load rate was found in the plantar fasciitis group along with an increased ankle dorsiflexion range of motion compared with the control group. The plantar fasciitis group had a lower arch index compared with control subjects, but calcaneal valgus was similar between groups. No differences in rearfoot kinematics were found between groups.
