Management of a Patient with a Diagnosis of Bilateral Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendinitis: A Case Report

D. Riddle, MS, FT, is Assistant Professor, Department of Physical Therapy, Medical College of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University, PO Box 224, MCV Station, Richmond, VA 23298 (USA).
D. Freeman, DPM, is Podiatrist and Clinical Instructor, Division of Orthopedics, Department of Surgery, Medical College of Virginia, and is in private practice in Richmond, VA.

This case report describes an approach for determining when fabricated orthoses might be useful in the treatment of a patient with foot-related problems. The patient is of special interest because she is an aerobics instructor, and her type of injury is relatively common. Particular emphasis in the report is placed on hypothesizing the cause of the patient's complaints and then basing treatment on that hypothesis.

Key Words: Fasciitis • Foot deformities • Lower extremity, ankle and foot • Orthotics/splints/casts, lower extremity
