Up to now, ACC has paid for orthoses for people who have developed plantarfasciitis during work or when playing sports. In a recent case, ACC have decided plantarfasciitis is a degenerative disease and therefore not caused by a single accident / trauma.
The case invovles a 60 year old man who developed pain in both feet while playing tennis. He has had no history of foot pain prior to this, and he recalls when the pain started during his tennis match.
There are many studies on the development and treatment but are there any studies to support his claim that plantarfasciitis can be caused by a single trauma event? What is the general view on causes of this condition?
