Plantar Fasciitis Exercises
Accurate Clinic 2401 Veterans Memorial Blvd. Suite16 Kenner, LA 70062 - 4799 Phone: 504.472.6130 Fax: 504.472.6128 www.AccurateClinic.com Plantar Fasciitis Exercise Getting the right plantar fasciitis exercise is imperative to ensure the injury doesn’t continue to affect performance. If not given the attention it needs, plantar fasciitis can flair up long after an athlete thinks they’ve recovered and badly damage training plans and competition aspirations. What is plantar fascia? Plantar fascia is a thick, fibrous band of connective tissue which originates at the heel bone and runs along the bottom of the foot in a fan-like manner, attaching to the base of each of the toes. A rather tough, resilient structure, the plantar fascia takes on a number of critical functions during running and walking. Although the fascia is invested with countless sturdy 'cables' of connective tissue called collagen fibres, it is certainly not immune to injury. In fact, about 5 to 10 per cent of all running injuries are inflammations of the fascia, an incidence rate which in the United States would produce about a million cases of plantar fasciitis per year, just among runners and joggers. Basketball players, tennis players, volleyballers, step-aerobics participants, and dancers are also prone to plantar problems, as are non-athletic people who spend a lot of time on their feet or suddenly become active after a long period of lethargy. Why does the fascia flare up? Although it is a fairly rugged structure, the plantar fascia is not very receptive to stretching, and yet stretching occurs in the fascia nearly every time the foot hits the ground. -

An ankle MRI, electromyelogram (EMG) with nerve conduction velocity (NCV) and pathologic findings were all compatible with Tarsal tunnel syndrome caused by the posterior tibial nerve Schwannoma. Operative release of the Tarsal tunnel and surgical excision of Schwannoma were performed under the microscopy. It is necessary to have a possible lump in mind when Tarsal tunnel syndrome is suspected, such as posterior tibial nerve Schwannoma. Key Words: Posterior Tibial NerveㆍSchwannomaㆍTarsal Tunnel Syndrome diagnose neurofibromatosis was insufficient. An ankle magne- tic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed about a 22×19×9 mm- INTRODUCTION sized ovoid soft tissue mass in the posterior ankle connected to the posterior tibial nerve. The mass lies beneath the flexor Although Schwannomas are the most common peripheral retinaculum of ankle and showed relatively strong enhance- nerve sheath tumor, Schwannoma of the posterior tibial nerve ment (Fig. 1). and it branch is a rare etiology causing Tarsal tunnel syndrome.

In the present report, we describe the presence of hallux varus as a sequela of great toe calcaneal fracture with entrapment of the medial plantar nerve in the calcaneal tunnel and recommend that metatarsophalangeal joint clinicians be wary of this when they clinically, and radiographically, evaluate patients after calcaneal fracture. -

Posterior Compartment of the Lower
NCBI Bookshelf. A service of the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health. StatPearls [Internet]. Treasure Island (FL): StatPearls Publishing; 2018 Jan-. Anatomy, Bony Pelvis and Lower Limb, Leg Posterior Compartment Authors Evan Mostafa1; Matthew Varacallo2. Affiliations 1 Albert Einstein College of Medicine 2 Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Kentucky School of Medicine Last Update: January 2, 2019. Introduction The lower leg divides into three fascial compartments: Anterior Lateral Posterior These compartments are formed and separated via divisions by the anterior and posterior intermuscular septa, and the interosseous membrane.[1] Each compartment contains its distinct set of muscles, vasculature, and innervation: The anterior compartment musculature functions to primarily dorsiflex the foot and ankle The lateral compartment musculature functions to plantar flex and evert the foot The posterior compartment musculature functions to plantarflex and invert the foot The posterior compartment of the leg (often referred to as the "calf") further divides into distinct superficial and deep compartments by the transverse intermuscular septum. The larger, superficial compartment of the lower leg contains the gastrocnemius, soleus (GS) and plantaris muscles. The deep layer of the leg's posterior compartment contains the popliteus, flexor digitorum longus, flexor hallucis longus, and tibialis posterior muscles. The various muscles of the posterior compartment primarily originate at the two bones of the leg, the tibia, and the fibula. The tibia is a large weight-bearing bone, often referred to as the "shin bone," and articulates with the femoral condyles superiorly and the talus inferiorly.[2] The fibula articulates with the tibia laterally at proximal and distal ends; however, it has no involvement in weight bearing.[3] Structure and Function The divisions of the lower leg are made up by intermuscular septa that are extensions of the overlying fascia.
