Abstract
La Fascitis Plantar se define como una patología dolorosa del retropié localizada en la parte inferior medial del talón y suele ser la causa más frecuente de dolor en esta región en la población adulta. Es habitual que se presente debido una vida sedentaria y en personas con sobrepeso. El aumento de la edad es otro factor de riesgo añadido. Se produce una pérdida de elasticidad, disminución de la fuerza en los músculos intrínsecos, trastornos biomecánicos en el pie y/o una mayor incapacidad de regenerar los tejidos tisulares. Si se produce después de los 40 años, la causa más probable puede ser la disminución de la almohadilla de grasa en el talón inferior, que provoca en consecuencia, la reducción de la absorción de los impactos y de la protección del calcáneo. Los tratamientos que se pueden aplicar en este tipo de lesión son los que incluyen crioterapia, vendaje funcional, ortesis plantares, férulas nocturnas, calzado adecuado, el tratamiento físico y manual
Plantar Fasciitis is defined as a painful pathology of the hindfoot located in the medial inferior part of the heel and is usually the most frequent cause of pain in this region in the adult population. It is habitual to present due to a sedentary life and in people with overweight. The increase in age is another added risk factor. There is loss of elasticity, decreased strength in the intrinsic muscles, biomechanical disorders in the foot and / or a greater inability to regenerate tissue tissues. If it occurs after age 40, the most likely cause may be the lowering of the fat pad in the lower heel, which consequently reduces the absorption of impacts and protection of the calcaneus. The treatments that can be applied in this type of injury are those that include cryotherapy, functional dressing, plantar orthoses, night splints, adequate footwear, physical and manual treatment
