Table 2. Comparison of plantar fascia thickness, degree of spasticity, pain scale, and gait ability.

	Before Tx.	6 weeks	6 months
Plantar fascia thickness (mm)	4.89±0.38	4.46±0.31***	3.92±0.28***
Spasticity (displacement) (mm)	4.10±0.13	3.89±0.13***	3.21±0.11***
Pain scale (VAS) (score)	6.50±0.97	5.30±0.82***	3.80±0.78***
Gait ability (FGA) (score)	16.10±5.74	19.40±5.44***	26.10±4.45***

All data are expressed as means with the standard deviation (M±SD). Repeated measures ANOVA was performed with respect to the differences in plantar fascia thickness, degree of spasticity, pain scale, and gait ability. The Bonferroni test was performed as a post hoc test (***p<0.001). VAS: visual analogue scale; FGA: functional gait assessment
