Questions and Answers

What is metatarsalgia?

  • Forefoot pain caused by plantar fasciitis
  • Pain in the ball of the foot caused by Morton's neuroma
  • Pain in the heel or arch caused by arch irritation
  • Forefoot pain resulting from an overload of plantar foot structures over time from kinetic chain compensation (correct)

    • What is the myotatic reflex?

  • A reflex that activates when the arch is engaged and can reinitiate the inflammatory process (correct)
  • A reflex that activates when the plantar fascia is irritated
  • A reflex that causes pain in the ball of the foot
  • A reflex that causes pain in the heel or arch

    • What are common signs and symptoms of plantar fasciitis?

  • Point tenderness and decreased ability to bear weight
  • Pain at and between the metatarsal heads
  • Pain in the ball of the foot
  • Sharp and burning pain upon landing or pushoff (correct)

    Study Notes

    Common Injury Conditions: Metatarsalgia and Plantar Fasciitis

    Metatarsalgia:

    • Forefoot pain that results from an overload of plantar foot structures over time from kinetic chain compensation.
    • Acute metatarsalgia can result from high-impact activities.
    • Clinician must determine and address the causative factors of the condition.
    • Common signs and symptoms include pain at and between the metatarsal heads, point tenderness, and decreased ability to bear weight.
    • Common differential diagnoses include Morton’s neuroma, sesamoid fracture, metatarsal stress fracture, and Hallucis rigidis.
    • Clinician therapeutic interventions include determining the root of the condition, requesting a radiograph or MRI, treating structures in a specific order, strengthening intrinsic foot muscles, and progressing the patient to dynamic physical activity.
    • Patient self-treatment interventions include self-release, PNF stretching, self-massage, and ice-massage.

    Plantar Fasciitis:

    • Irritation of the arch places strain on plantar tissues.
    • Engaging the windlass mechanism can activate the myotatic reflex and reinitiate the inflammatory process.
    • Common signs and symptoms include pain at the medial heel or within the arch, sharp and burning pain upon landing or pushoff, and pain that subsides with the cessation of weight bearing.
    • Common differential diagnoses include heel spur, posterior tarsal tunnel syndrome, and calcaneal fracture.
    • Clinician therapeutic interventions include determining the root of the condition, performing a biomechanical analysis, treating structures in a specific order, using KT Tape or arch taping, implementing open- and closed-chain strengthening, and progressing the patient to dynamic physical activity.
    • Patient self-treatment interventions include self-release, using a supportive sandal or shoe, PNF stretching, self-massage, and ice-massage.
