OBJECTIVES: The plantar fascia stretching intervention can correct balance ability and induces a change spatiotemporal parameter doing gait ability. Our objective is to compare the effects of a 4-week program of plantar fascia stretching with those of calf stretching exercise on ankle dorsiflexion passive range of motion (DF-PROM), open and closed eyes static balance ability, gait parameters, and foot and ankle disability index in chronic post-stroke condition. METHODS: Participants were randomized to either the plantar fascia stretching ( RESULTS: After 4 weeks of training, the plantar fascia stretching group showed significant improvement in all outcome measures compared with baseline ( CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that plantar fascia stretching exercise improved ankle DF-PROM, open and closed eyes static balance ability, cadence, and foot and ankle disability index in chronic post-stroke condition.
