ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the effect of different methods of physical therapy on plantar fasciitis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From June 2009 to March 2012,30 patients with plantar fasciitis were randomly divided into 3 groups including phonophoresis (PH) combined with stretching exercise, ultrasound (US) combined with stretching exercise,stretching exercise, 10 patiens in each group. In stretching exercise group, there were 2 males and 8 females with an average age of (46.7+/-6.5) years old,the mean constitutional index duration was (26.7+/-2.8) kg/m2. In US combined with stretching exercise group, there were 4 males and 6 females with an average age of (45.8+/-6.1) years old,the mean constitutional index duration was (26.4+/-3.4) kg/m2. In PH combined with stretching exercise group,there were 3 males and 7 females with an average age of (48.4+/-8.0) years old,the mean constitutional index duration was (25.4+/-3.0) kg/m2. Patients in PH and US were treated for 10 min everyday by ultrasound, 5 times per week, lasted for 4 weeks; and patients by ultrasound therapy in PH were treated with diclofenac diethylamine at the same time. All the 30 patients received instruction for stretching exercises at home. Pain and ability to function were evaluated before treatment, immediately afterwards,and three months later. Morning pain was evaluated by VAS, and the sub-scale of FFI evaluated the affected foot function.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Patients's general status and original pain state of plantar fasciitis before treatment had no significant difference among three groups. There were statistical differences of morning pain and FFI-disability score between PH group and stretching exercise group at 1 month (P<0.05), and no statistical differences among three groups at 3 months (P>0.05). Compared with before therapy,the pain and disability score of three groups significantly improved in the three points of time (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Stretching exercises and combining with PH or US are effective for pain and disability in patients with plantar fasciitis and that addition of PH to exercise therapy betters the effectiveness.</p>
