Objective:To determine the clinical application of musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging in patients with unilateral chronic plantar fascitiis.Methods:A experienced ultrasound doctor scanned 21 patients with unilateral plantar fasciitis twice with 2-3 days between test and retest.Results:Intrarater reliability of measurement of plantar fascia thickness using musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging for both sides were 0.92 and 0.87.The fascia thickness in injuried sides were obviouly thicker than uninjuried sides(P<0.05).Conclusion:The results revealed that musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging is a reliable method to evaluate the thickness of plantar fascia and diagnose chronic plantar fascitiis. |
