Objective: To determine relationships of body mass index with plantar fasciitis and foot functions index and how many activities of daily living were limited with plantar heel pain due to overweight in population of Government Hospitals of Faisalabad City. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Government Hospitals of Faisalabad City (Allied Hospital & District Headquarter Hospital). Period: March to May 2018. Material & Methods: 140 patients included both males and females. Convenient sampling technique was used in selection of study sample. Calculate BMI (kg/m2) and FFI questionnaire used in this study to find how many activities of daily living was limited with plantar heel pain due to overweight. Data was analyzed by using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 20. Chi square test was applied. Results: There were 70 males and 70 females. Data was collected to overweight population (mean age, 42.15; mean BMI, 29.52 kg/m2; and mean height, 1.68m). Out of 140 overweight population was (66.4%) and obese population (33.6%). The windlass test showed (87.9%) positive and (12.1%) negative. Chi-square test revealed no significant relation between rise in BMI and plantar heel pain (p = 0.105). However it shows significant relation between rise in BMI and FFI (p = 0.000). Conclusion: There is no statistical significant relation between body mass index and plantar fasciitis. According to foot function index patients significantly limit activities of daily living with plantar heel pain due to overweight.

Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a commonly reported cause of plantar heel pain. The purpose of this study is to create awareness of the risk factors and/or events that leads to the development of plantar fasciitis. The identification of musculoskeletal factors related to plantar heel pain could lead to the development of intervention strategies and improve clinical outcomes. The aim of the study is to know the prevalence and risk factors of plantar fasciitis among middle-aged male and female population – a survey based study. A self-administered questionnaire containing about 16 questions was prepared and circulated through online survey google forms link. About 129 middle aged people responded to the survey. The responses were collected, tabulated and statistically analysed using SPSS software. Out of which 47.33% were females and 52.67% where males. 45.80% of the total population have a stabbing pain in the heel early in the morning and also with the long-standing while 54.20% of the population do not have this condition. 41.22% of the population experience mild pain early in the morning, 42.75% experience moderate pain,13.74% experience severe pain and 2.29% experience very severe pain early in the morning. Plantar fasciitis is one of the causes of inferior heel pain in adults. The patient has a gradual occurrence of pain along the medial side of the heel. The pain is worse when arising in the morning, which becomes less severe after a few steps.

The differential diagnosis of heel pain is extensive. The plantar heel pain is usually due to mechanical etiology, including plantar fasciitis, calcaneal spur, stress fracture, and nerve entrapment. Tumor is a rare cause of plantar heel pain. We present a case of chronic plantar heel pain with a vascular leiomyoma at the heel pad. Levels of Evidence: Therapeutic, Level IV, Case study

INTRODUCTION In this article we look at the aetiology of plantar fasciitis, the other common differentials for heel pain and the evidence available to support each of the major management options. We also review the literature and discuss the condition. METHODS A literature search was performed using PubMed and MEDLINE®. The following keywords were used, singly or in combination: ‘plantar fasciitis’, ‘plantar heel pain’, ‘heel spur’. To maximise the search, backward chaining of reference lists from retrieved papers was also undertaken. FINDINGS Plantar fasciitis is a common and often disabling condition. Because the natural history of plantar fasciitis is not understood, it is difficult to distinguish between those patients who recover spontaneously and those who respond to formal treatment. Surgical release of the plantar fascia is effective in the small proportion of patients who do not respond to conservative measures. New techniques such as endoscopic plantar release and extracorporeal shockwave therapy may have a role but the limited availability of equipment and skills means that most patients will continue to be treated by more traditional techniques.
