Effectiveness of adjustable dorsiflexion night splint in combination with accommodative foot orthosis on plantar fasciitis. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2012;49(10):1557–64. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2011.09.0181 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2011.09.0181JSP Aim – Evaluate effectiveness of soft and self-adjustable dorsiflexion night splint in combination with accommodative foot orthosis for patients with plantar fasciitis. Relevance – Foot orthoses and night splints have been used separately to treat patients with plantar fasciitis, but were not always successful. – Combined use might give better outcomes.

Foot Function Index (FFI): – Evaluated pain and functions of feet just before, 2 weeks after, and 8 weeks after treatments. Components of dorsiflexion night splint: soft ankle-foot sleeve, footplate, and adjustable Velcro strap with buckle.

Group A – No statistical differences noted in pain, disability, activity limitation, or total FFI scores for the three time periods.

This study provides some clues for improving the treatment outcomes of orthoses, which may prevent subsequently more invasive treatments.
