Hi All,

I have 69 yr old woman I've been treating since Jan 1/99 for bilateral
plantar fasciitis, L>>R. Previous to my treatment she wore 3/4 length rigid
foot orthoses for 9 years. It is unclear whether she had PF during these 9
years. I have custom made a full length pair of semi-rigid foot orthoses
(firm and xtrafirm nickleplast, PPT). The condition remained unchanged for
approx. 3 months and since then she has worn a left night-time AFO set at
~85 degrees (ie neutral -5 degrees). She also has followed exercise
modalities I've provided to her on a daily basis. Xrays of her foot are
pending.

Since receiving the foot orthoses and AFO her condition has not worsened
but continues to cause typical plantar fasciitis pain. I'm contemplating a
UCBL foot orthosis for better calcaneal control at this point.

Does anybody have any further suggestions?

TIA
