“…4,27 PF, once viewed as an inflammatory condition caused by repetitive microtearing of the plantar fascia, 35 is now thought to be a degenerative condition. Lemont and colleagues 21 discuss noninflammatory pathologic changes, such as thickening and fibrosis of the plantar fascia at the medial calcaneal tubercle and degeneration of the plantar fascia, with no evidence of histological inflammation.…”

“…The central band originates from the medial tubercle of the calcaneus and travels across the metatarsal heads to the proximal phalanx of each toe. 27 The lateral and medial bands originate from the abductor digiti minimi and the abductor hallucis, respectively, and are continuous with the central band and the dorsal fascia.…”

Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain. The aim was to critically evaluate the literature investigating strength training interventions in the treatment of plantar fasciitis and improving intrinsic foot musculature strength.A search of PubMed, CINHAL, Web of Science, SPORTSDiscus, EBSCO Academic SearchComplete and PEDRO using the search terms plantar fasciitis, strength, strengthening, resistance training, intrinsic flexor foot, resistance training.Seven articles met the eligibility criteria. Methodological quality was assessed using the modified Downs and Black checklist. All articles showed moderate to high quality, however external validity was low.A comparison of the interventions highlights significant differences in strength training approaches to treating plantar fasciitis and improving intrinsic strength. It was not possible to identify the extent to which strengthening interventions for intrinsic musculature may benefit symptomatic or at risk populations to plantar fasciitis. There is limited external validity that foot exercises, toe flexion against resistance and minimalist running shoes may contribute to improved intrinsic foot musculature function. Despite no plantar fascia thickness changes being observed through high-load plantar fascia resistance training there are indications that it may aid in a reduction of pain and improvements in function.Further research should use standardised outcome measures to assess intrinsic foot musculature strength and plantar fasciitis symptoms.
