| Plantar fascia thickness in patient with Plantar fasciitis. Timepoint: The measurement of the thickness of the plantar fascia is done at the beginning of the study (before the start of the intervention) and 2 and 4 weeks after the start of the interventions. Method of measurement: To measure the plantar fascia thickness, an ultrasound machine model HS2100 made in Japan with a frequency of 12 MHz and a linear probe of 4.5 cm is used. The transducer of the ultrasound device is placed in the sagittal plane on the inner band of the plantar fascia at the junction with the inner prominence of the heel, and the thickness of the plantar fascia is measured.;Pain score in patient with Plantar fasciitis. Timepoint: The measurement of pain score is done at the beginning of the study (before the start of the intervention) and 2 and 4 weeks after the start of the interventions. Method of measurement: The basis of pain is based on the visual analog scale that is used to measure and grade pain in patients. In general, this scale is drawn as a 100 mm or 10 cm line, and the amount of pain is rated between 0 and 10.The two ends of the scale include the number zero at the left which indicates no pain (zero = no pain) and the number 10 at the right end indicates the most pain. The number 1 to 3 indicates mild pain, the number 4 to 6 indicates moderate pain, and the number 7 to 10 indicates severe pain. The patient marks his pain score with a vertical line on the scale.;Performance score in patient with Plantar fasciitis. Timepoint: The measurement of performance score is done at the beginning of the study (before the start of the intervention) and 2 and 4 weeks after the start of the interventions. Method of measurement: The Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) questionnaire is used to evaluate performance in this research. This questionnaire is designed to evaluate symptoms and functional limitations related to the foot and ankle. This questionnaire asks for patient's ankle problem a | — |
