Table 1.

Comparison of plantar fascia thickness between supine and prone positions with the ankle in a neutral posture

Portion of plantar heel	Position		p value
Portion of plantar heel	Supine	Prone	p value
Medial	5.0 [4.5; 6.0]	5.1 [4.2; 6.1]	0.973^a
Central	5.1 [4.1; 5.6]	5.0 [4.2; 6.1]	0.620^a
Lateral	4.9 ± 1.0	4.8 ± 1.1	0.600^b

Measured thickness (mm) values are presented as median [interquartile range; 25th–75th] for non-normally distributed data or mean ± standard deviation for normally distributed data

p values obtained from Wilcoxon signed rank test ^a or paired t-test ^b

Significance was accepted for p values of < 0.05
