Effects of plantar fascia release and the use of foot orthoses affect biomechanics of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot: a cadaveric study
Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of minimally invasive ultrasound-guided fascial release and a foot orthoses with first metatarsal head cutout on the biomechanics of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot in cadaveric specimens. Design: A cross-sectional study was designed...

| Sumario: | Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of minimally invasive ultrasound-guided fascial release and a foot orthoses with first metatarsal head cutout on the biomechanics of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot in cadaveric specimens. Design: A cross-sectional study was designed (20 body donors). Anthropometric measurements of the foot, foot posture index, and the windlass test and force were measured in different conditions: unloaded, loaded position, with foot orthoses, after a 25% plantar fascia release and after a 50% release. Results: For the anthropometric measurements of the foot, differences were found in foot length ( P = 0.009), arch height ( P < 0.001), and midfoot width ( P = 0.019) when comparing the unloaded versus foot orthoses condition. When foot orthoses were compared with 25% plantar fascial release, differences were found in foot length ( P = 0.014) and arch height ( P < 0.001). In the comparison with 50% plantar fascial release, differences were found in the arch height ( P < 0.001). A significant interaction between foot orthoses condition and grades was found in the arch height during the windlass test ( P = 0.021). Conclusions: The results indicate that the presence of foot orthoses leads to a significant increase in arch height compared with other conditions. Furthermore, when plantar fascia release is performed, the arch does not exhibit any signs of collapse. |
