Objective
The purpose of this case report is to describe the management of using a combination of hip strengthening and manipulative therapy (MT) for a patient with plantar fasciitis.

Clinical Features
A 44-year-old patient reported heel pain for approximately 1 year before treatment. The patient reported plantar heel pain and tenderness at the calcaneal tuberosity. The pain was most noticeable in the morning but was reduced after a 30-minute walk. A diagnosis of plantar fasciitis was made at the initial assessment.

Intervention and Outcomes
Initially, a clinical evaluation was performed to measure pain intensity (Numeric Pain Rating Scale), pressure-pain threshold (algometry), and perceived exertion (OMNI Resistance Exercise Scale). The patient then underwent 10 sessions of hip strengthening and MT over a period of 3 months. After the treatment, the intensity of pain and the pressure-pain threshold was reevaluated. The patient reported an improvement in pain intensity (baseline score = 6 vs final score = 1) and an increase in the pressure-pain threshold (initial score = 2.6 vs final score = 7.1). Perceived exertion was also improved after hip muscle strength training (initial score = 10 vs final score = 8).

Conclusion
The combination of hip strengthening and MT improved foot pain in a patient with a clinical diagnosis of plantar fasciitis.

Comparison of Hip Muscle Strengthening Exercise and
Stretching of Lower Extremity on Pain, Navicular Drop and Foot
and Ankle Functional Ability in Plantar Fasciitis
Su-bin Yang, Sang-bin Lee
The Journal of Korean Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy

Background: Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common conditions of the lower limbs. The present
study aimed to compare the effect of hip muscle strengthening exercise and stretching of lower
extremity in plantar fasciitis, with regard to pain, navicular drop and foot and ankle functional
ability.
Methods: A total of 42 patients diagnosed with plantar fasciitis were randomly assigned to the
experimental group (n=21) that applied the hip muscle strengthening exercise and the control
group(n=21) that applied the general lower limb stretching. The intervention period was 6 weeks.
Results: The results of the experiment showed that the exercises for strengthening the hip muscle
had significant effects on pain, navicular drop and foot and ankle functional ability In addition,
lower extremity stretching showed improvement effects in pain, navicular drop and foot and ankle
functional ability, however, the difference between the groups except navicular drop did not reach
statistical significance
Conclusion: Both interventions tested in this study were confirmed to be effective treatment options
for patients with plantar fasciitis.
