Research summary
This study looks at whether there is any benefit to patients with plantar fasciitis in the provision of a commercially available Tension Night Splint (TNS). This is a device that a patient would wear at night-time to keep their foot and ankle stretched, and it thought thereby reducing the level of discomfort that they may get from their plantar fascia symptoms.
