| Abstract. | The present work aims to demonstrate the importance of physical therapy in a rehabilitation program for patients with plantar fasciitis. Due to its frequency and the problems, it creates, related to the difficulty of working. This is becoming increasingly common in society, making it impossible for the subject to perform various activities.
The goal pursued in this work is for the patient with this problem to recover. The general goal of rehabilitation is to help the patient recover in the shortest possible time, to prevent physical discomfort and, especially, to stop the worsening of the disease.[2,5] After carrying out the initial and final tests, we were able to collect the results presented in the work and draw the final conclusions of the study. The reason why we chose this topic is that part of the population is affected by this condition, and through physical therapy we can correct this problem.[7,9,11] |
