Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Patients are instructed to carry out strengthening exercises for the fascia plantaris 3 days a week and stretching exercises every day. Four times in the first 2 months supervised training in groups is carried out with a physiotherapist supervising the exercises and instructing in progression and new exercises, and all participants are instructed to carry out a specific training program daily at home. The amount of training performed by each patient, is registered in a diary weekly
Ultra sound guided injection af 1 ml og Glucocorticosteroid (methylprednisolone 40 mg) and 1 ml of lidocaine 5mg/ml from the medial side profound to the thickened part of the fascia plantaris. Glucocorticosteroid injections are given every month until the aponeurosis thickness is less than 4 mm as determined by ultrasonography (max 3 injections).
