Plantar Fascia Thickness Measurement

Participants were placed in the prone position as mentioned above, and a 40 mm linear array transducer (SL10-2, Supersonic Imagine, France) was used to measure the sagittal plantar fascia thickness (PFT). The transducer was placed over the surface closest to the medial foot, and then the PFT was measured at the anterior margin of the calcaneus and stored for offline analyses (Figure 2; Gamba et al., 2018 (link); Gatz et al., 2020 (link); Petrofsky et al., 2020 (link)).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
