Elucidation of The Pathogenic Mechanism of Plantar Fasciitis in Pes Planus by Using Plantar Fascia Model
【Supercategory：7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory：7.41 Vol.41】
ABSTRACT
Our study aimed to investigate to elucidation of the pathogenic mechanism of plantar fasciitis in pes planus by using plantar fascia model. We recruited healthy 13 males in normal foot and healthy 13 males in pes planus. Foot alignment was categorized using foot posture index. Participants ran at self-selected speed. Plantar fascia model was used to calculate tension of plantar fascia was calculated using As results, running speed wes not significantly different between normal foot and pes planus （p = 0.63）．Additionally, peak in tension of plantar fascia were not significantly different between normal foot （25.5±5.3N/kg） and pes planus （27.1±5.9N/kg, p = 0.40）．Previous study has suggested that tension of plantar fascia increases in pes planus. However, this study showed that tension plantar fascia in pes planus does not increase compared with normal foot.
