Human plantar fascial dimensions and shear wave velocity change in vivo as a function of ankle and metatarsophalangeal joint positions

The plantar fascia (PF), a primary contributor of the foot arch elasticity, may experience slack, taut, and stretched states depending on the ankle and metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint positions. Since PF has proximodistal site difference in its dimensions and stiffness, the response to applied tensi...
