Document Summary
The role of pronation and supination through the gait cycle: Short period at heal strike and foot flat to toe off. Heel spurs: not the problem, but a reaction to the problem usually not cause of pain and may worsen on x ray after symptoms resolved can be caused by bleeding at the attachment site. 2nd arrow: calcium deposit secondary to excessive tissue strain and repetitive trauma. Tight posterior structures: bonus slide appears to be anatomical connection b/w achilles tendon and plantar fascia if achilles tendon (or those structures attaching to it) is/are tight, then the plantar fascia may be pulled excessively tight. Treatment: slow onset (due to training issues over time) changes in structure no inflammatory mediators present in tissue. ***tells us that it is probably an osis sore but not swollen and don"t need to treat it as such: can be more aggressive with it because don"t have to clear the inflammatory phase.
