詳細な説明
Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of chronic plantar heel pain and may lead to functional limitation and reduced quality of life. Exercise education is an important component of conservative treatment; however, in busy outpatient settings, the time available for detailed face-to-face instruction may be limited. Standardized video-based education may provide a practical alternative by delivering the same exercise content in a reproducible format.
This study will evaluate whether video-based exercise instruction is non-inferior to physician-led face-to-face instruction in patients with plantar fasciitis. All participants will receive standard information about plantar fasciitis, load management, footwear recommendations, weight control, short-term analgesic or anti-inflammatory use when needed, and heel pad or insole support. The home exercise program will be identical in both groups and will include plantar fascia-specific stretching, gastrocnemius/soleus stretching, plantar fascia self-massage, gradual toe raises, and towel pull exercises.
Assessments will be performed at baseline, 1 month, and 3 months after randomization. Functional status will be assessed using the Foot Function Index, and pain will be measured using a 0-10 numerical rating scale. Exercise knowledge, adherence, education duration, video viewing behavior, additional treatment use, and satisfaction will also be recorded.

アクティブコンパレータ:Physician-Led Face-to-Face Exercise Instruction
Participants in this arm will receive standard plantar fasciitis education and physician-led face-to-face instruction of the home exercise program.
The orthopedic physician will explain and demonstrate the exercises during the baseline visit.
The exercise program will include plantar fascia-specific stretching, gastrocnemius/soleus stretching, plantar fascia self-massage, gradual toe raises, and towel pull exercises.

実験的:Video-Based Exercise Instruction
Participants in this arm will receive standard plantar fasciitis education and a QR code or web link providing access to a standardized exercise video prepared by the study team.
The video will not be watched in the outpatient clinic; participants will be instructed to perform the exercises at home by watching the video.
The exercise content, order, repetitions, and frequency will be identical to the physician-led group.

Change in Foot Function Index Total/Index Score From Baseline to 3 Months
時間枠:Baseline and 3 months after randomization
|
The Foot Function Index total/index score is a patient-reported measure of foot pain, disability, and activity limitation, converted to a 0-100 score.
Higher scores indicate worse foot-related function.
The primary endpoint will be the change from baseline to 3 months, calculated as baseline FFI score minus 3-month FFI score; higher positive values indicate greater clinical improvement.

Change in Numeric Rating Scale Pain Score From Baseline to 1 and 3 Months
時間枠:Baseline, 1 month, and 3 months after randomization
|
Heel pain while walking during the previous week will be assessed using an 11-point numerical rating scale ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates unbearable pain.
Change scores will be calculated from baseline to each follow-up visit.

Change in Foot Function Index Pain Subscale Score From Baseline to 1 and 3 Months
時間枠:Baseline, 1 month, and 3 months after randomization
|
The pain subscale of the Foot Function Index will be used to assess foot-related pain.
Scores will be converted according to the standard Foot Function Index scoring method; higher scores indicate worse pain.

Change in Foot Function Index Disability Subscale Score From Baseline to 1 and 3 Months
時間枠:Baseline, 1 month, and 3 months after randomization
|
The disability subscale of the Foot Function Index will be used to assess foot-related functional disability.
Higher scores indicate greater disability.
