Dynamic Versus Static Night Splinting of Plantar Fasciitis
Start Date
10/31/2023
Completion Date

Summary
The investigators are trying to study that there is no difference in improvement of motion between static progressive and dynamic splinting.
Detailed Description
A physical rehabilitation device for the treatment of a medical condition of the foot known as plantar fasciitis includes a splint which is connected to the toe and ankle of a patient. Static splint is the use of inelastic components to apply torque to a joint in order to statically position it as close to end range as possible. A dynamic splint uses a tension spring that is integrated into a brace, usually via a mechanical hinge. The tension spring can be adjusted for more or less tension to achieve range of motion goals with less pain. The investigators are trying to study that there is no difference in improvement of motion between static progressive and dynamic splinting.
