Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Reproduction of the pain referred by the patient with palpation at the proximal insertion of the plantar fascia.
Exclusion Criteria
* Injection of corticoids in the area in the 6 months prior to recruitment.
