Predictors for pain and functioning in patients with plantar fasciopathy one year after inclusion in a treatment trial in specialist care.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Plantar fasciopathy is common, is characterized by heel pain and is associated with decreased functioning and health-related quality of life. While many recover from this condition, a considerable number of people experience persistent heel pain. This study seeks to evaluate predictors for pain and function twelve months after inclusion in a treatment trial in specialist care.

Methods

Secondary analysis was conducted on 200 patients with plantar fasciopathy included in a randomized controlled trial and followed for twelve months. Baseline demographics and clinical characteristics were included as possible predictors. Univariate and multivariable linear regression models were applied to identify predictors for foot pain (Numeric rating scale) and function (Foot Fun
