Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common disorders of foot associated
wit h pain and limitations to activities. Aim: To investigate outcomes of patient with plantar
fasciitis after 12-week exercises rehabilitation program. Patients and methods: Research
design: A randomized controlled trial. Sample and setting: Sixty-four patient with plantar
fasciitis attended to orthopedic department and orthopedic outpatients clinic at Assiut
University Hospitals. patient with were assigned randomly into 2 equal groups as odd number
(intervention group) and double number (control group). This study introduced exercises
rehabilitation program to intervention group. Outcomes were e measured at the time of
assessment in orthopedic department and orthopedic outpatients clinic and then eachwe4eks
f or 12-week in orthopedic outpatients clinic. Tools: assessment sheet for patient with plantar
fasciitis, numeric pain rating scale, foot functional index, American orthopedic foot and
ankle society scale and exercises adherence logbook. Results: Statistical significant
difference (p.value <0.0w5a)s found between intervention and control groups at the second
and third month of follow up as regard numeric pain rating scale (p.value <0.05), foot
functional index (p.value <0.001) and American orthopedic foot and ankle society scale
(p.value <0.05). Conclusion: The 12-week exercises rehabilitation program; plantar fascia
stretching, Achilles tendon stretching and roll plantar fascia with frozen water bottle
reducing pain and improving functional recovery and foot function for patient with plantar
fasciitis. Recommendations: The 12-week exercises rehabilitation program should be
advocated as one of the significant modalities to manage pain and improve functional
recovery and foot function for patient with plantar fasciitis.
