1High-Load Strength Training (Rathleff Protocol)

STRONG

F:every second day

I:12 repetition maximum (RM) for three sets

T:a short time to complete

Type:unilateral heel raises with a towel inserted under the toes to further activate the windlass mechanism

Outcomes: pain: 29 points lower

Forty-eight patients participants

2Plantar Fascia-Specific Stretching

STRONG

F:2 sessions per week for first 4 weeks

I:3 repetitions with 30 seconds and rest 10 seconds between each stretch

T:3 repetitions with 30 seconds and rest 10 seconds between each stretch 2

Type:gastrocnemius muscle and plantar fascia stretching were shown to have moderate treatment effects; they are often used in the treatment programs for patients with PF

Outcomes: pain: Significant reduction in worst pain and morning pain over time; no significant difference between groups

3Night Splint (Dorsiflexion Orthosis)

STRONG

F:wear the brace only while sleeping

I:ankle placed in approximately 5° of dorsiflexion
