The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of anti-gravity treadmill exercise on foot sole pain and activities of daily living (ADL) of an elderly person with chronic plantar fasciitis. A 68-year-old patient who was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis completed a 5-week anti-gravity treadmill exercise program consisting of walking for 20 min at 3 mph twice per week. The patient’s foot pain and ADL were measured using the visual analog scale (VAS) and Roles and Maudsley scores were calculated at before intervention and weekly throughout the intervention. There was a slight change in the VAS score for foot sole pain at the end of the intervention. ADL evaluated by the Roles and Maudsley scores slightly improved post-intervention compared to those pre-intervention. We found that the anti-gravity treadmill exercise did not harm our elderly patient with chronic plantar fasciitis. Accordingly, we concluded that anti-gravity treadmill exercise had positive effects on foot pain and ADL for this elderly patient with chronic plantar fasciitis. Our findings suggest that anti-gravity treadmill exercise will be a new approach to cardiopulmonary fitness and help prevent falls in elderly individuals with limitations in ADL.
