Estrategias de prevención y tratamiento de la fascitis plantar en adultos

Abstract

Plantar fasciitis is defined as a painful hindfoot pathology located in the inferomedial of the heel and usually the most common cause of pain in this region in the adult population. It is usual to occur in people who  are sedentary or overweight individuals. Increasing age is another risk factor added. A loss of elasticity, decreased strength in the intrinsic muscles, biomechanical foot disorders and / or increased tissue inability to regenerate tissues occurs. If it occurs after age 40, the most likely cause is the decrease in fat pad in the lower bead, causing a consequent reduction of shock absorption and protection of the calcaneus. Treatments that can be applied in this type of injury, are those that include cryotherapy, taping, plantar orthotics, night splints, proper footwear, physical therapy and manual which are stretching, strengthening exercises, and corticosteroid injections Acupuncture is also important sonication, extracorporeal shock wave, the low frequency electrical impulses and finally surgery can apply for what will be a full recovery from this injury. The aim of this paper was to determine the background associated with plantar fasciitis in adults, which is centered on a study of literature review as references related to the topic of interest were sought. It was concluded that the plantar fasciitis is an injury that affects a large percentage of people, especially adults from 40 years of age, although this may occur in the general population and can be treated based on methods they serve to alleviate or improve totally or  partially.
