Abstract

Background: Plantar fasciopathy (PF) is a cumulative excessive strain on the enthesis of the plantar fascia. One cause of PF is a prolonged pronated foot. Numerous studies have shown that weakness of hip muscles may be one factor contributing to PF.Objective: To identify whether there is a relationship among PF and hip abductors as well as external rotators' weakness. Patients and Methods: Two groups were included in this study, each group had forty participants. Participants in group (A) had PF whereas those in group (B) were healthy participants. The isometric muscle strength of the hip abductors and external rotators was assessed utilizing a hand-held dynamometer. For the reason to verify a PF diagnosis, ultrasound device was used.   Results: Our results revealed significant decrease in the hip abductors' muscle strength of the involved side of the examined group when contrasted with the non-involved side in the same group (p = 0.006), and a significant decrease in the strength of the hip external rotators of the involved side of the examined group when contrasted with the non-involved side in the same group (p = 0.007). Additionally, there was a substantial decline in hip abductors and external rotators muscle strength on the involved side of the study group in comparison with the matched side of the control groups.   Conclusion: This study showed that the deficits in the proximal hip abductors and external rotators muscles were associated with plantar fasciopathy.
