Effectiveness of Foot Biomechanical Orthoses to Relieve Patients Suffering from Plantar Fasciitis: Is the Reduction of Pain Related to Change in Neural Strategy?

Figure 3

Plantar pain assessment. The intensity of pain experienced at rest and during activity by the patient was subjective. It was assessed on an analog visual scale (AVS) graduated from 0 (no pain) to 100% (‘worst pain imaginable’). Significant differences with W0 are indicated by asterisks (: p<0.05; : p<0.01; : p<0.001). Differences between W3 and W9 are indicated by crosses (++: p<0.01). Data are mean±SEM.
