-
Proprioception and Knee-Strengthening Added to Stretching for Chronic Plantar Fasciitis
This study tests whether adding knee-strengthening or proprioception exercises to a stretching program helps people with long-standing plantar fasciitis reduce pain and improve function.
-
Barefoot Walking vs Standardised Conservative Care for Plantar Fasciopathy

-
Platelet-rich plasma treatment for patellar, Achilles, elbow (epicondylitis), and plantar heel tendinopathies.
This multicenter observational project will try platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections to see if they reduce pain and improve function in adults with chronic patellar, Achilles, lateral elbow (epicondylitis), or plantar heel (fasciitis) tendinopathies.
