Study Summary

Invesigators plan to conduct a 12-week longitudinal cohort study of 30 subjects with calcaneal apophysitis. Subjects will be included if they are between 7-17 years-old, have experienced an insidious onset of heel pain with running or jumping activities, and have no underlying diagnosis predisposing heel pain and no other injury that limits their ability to run and jump. Parents of subjects will be invited to participate by completing questionnaires related to their perspective of their child's symptoms, physical activity level, quality of life, and their satisfaction with the treatment protocol. Subjects will be asked to attend 4 monthly sessions consisting of evaluation and treatment.

Primary Outcome

The VISA-A was specifically designed to assess symptom severity in individuals with Achilles tendinopathy and has demonstrated validity, reliability and responsiveness. Scores range from 0-100, where a higher score indicates less pain and symptoms with activity. This outcome measure has been used in previous trials with adolescents.
