About this trial
this study will be conducted to investigate the difference in balance and ankle proprioception between calcaneus spur patients and age matched normal subjects

This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
age will range from 40-60
both sex male and female
unilateral calcaneal spur
Patients with pain and inflammation at the bottom of heel, or the location where the spur is present.
Disqualifiers
Surgery within the last 6 months
Sensory or motor paralysis -Received steroid injections within the last 3 months-
discrepancy in length of the lower extremities greater than or equal to 1 cm.
systemic disease in the last six months that may predispose to heel pain(e.g., rheumatoid arthritis and lupus). (Dudoniene V et al.,2023).

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
dynamic balance
the Biodex Balance System (BBS) ,Version 3.1, has been used to evaluate postural balance
Time frame
up to one day2
static balance
The single-leg stance balance test will be used to assess static balance.
Time frame
up to one day3
ankle propriception
digital inclinometer will be used to assessed ankle proprioception
Time frame
up to one day4
foot disability
A Foot Function Index (FFI) will be used to assess foot disability. The pain subcategory consists of 9 items and measures foot pain in different situations, such as walking barefoot versus walking with shoes. The disability subcategory consists of 9 items and measures difficulty performing various functional activities because of foot problems, such as difficulty climbing stairs. The activity limitation subcategory consists of 5 items and measures limitations in activities because of foot problems, such as staying in bed all day. Recorded on a visual analogue scale (VAS), scores range from 0 to 100 mm, with higher scores indicating worse pain. Both total and subcategory scores are calculated
Time frame
up to one daySecondary outcomes
1
integrity of the plantar fascia ligament
The Windlass Test is a physical examination technique will be used to assess the integrity of the plantar fascia ligament in the foot. we evaluated the Windlass test, and found it had a high specificity, and a low level of sensitivity. It can be used as part of the clinician's armamentarium in evaluating patients with plantar fasciitis, and should be performed in a weightbearing position to maximize the sensitivity
