Background and Aim: inflammation of the plantar sheath is the most common cause of pain in the lower part of the heel and accounts for about 11% to 15% of all causes of foot pain that require treatment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of stretching exercises on ankle pain and supination in women with plantar fasciitis.
Materials and methods: 15 patients with plantar fasciitis were randomly selected and placed in two groups, control and experimental, each with a number of 15 people. This study was pre-test and post-test and training interventions were conducted for six weeks under the supervision of the researcher. The visual pain scale was used to evaluate pain and the Brady test was used to evaluate the type of foot structure and the degree of ankle supination. Shapiro-Wilk test was used to check the normality of the data, and paired t and independent t statistical tests were used to check intragroup and outgroup differences in SPSS software version 20 (α ≥0.05).
Ethical Considerations: This study was approved by the ethics committee of research projects (ethics code: IR.ARAKU.REC.1401.014)
Results: The results showed that Stretching exercises have led to the improvement of pain and ankle supination rate (p<0.05); Also, there was a difference between the two groups of stretching exercises and control in both pain and ankle supination variables (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The findings of the present research showed that the reduction of pain and the improvement of ankle supination in women with plantar fasciitis were significant in the group of stretching exercises compared to the control group, so it can be said that the results obtained from this research are to a large extent It is related to the positive effects of the stretching exercises used. In order to achieve more accurate results, in future research, the effect of these exercises on the improvement of patients with plantar fasciitis should be investigated. Considering the improvement of the measured variables in the exercise group, it is suggested that these exercises be used in the treatment of patients with plantar fasciitis in the future.
