That's the description Seahawks receiver Golden Tate gave this week when asked to describe teammate Percy Harvin on the practice field.
After a solid week of practice, where the optimism regarding Harvin's possible return for the divisional playoff round game grew by the day, Pete Carroll finally said Thursday what he had only said one other time this season, back in November: "Percy's gonna play."
Harvin had hip surgery 5 1/2 months ago, after the Seahawks traded a No. 1 pick to Minnesota to get Harvin and paid him millions - and to this point had the luxury of using one of the most dynamic players in the NFL for one single game in mid-November against the Vikings.
It's been a rocky 5 1/2 months for Harvin.
"It got real frustrating, I know, for the organization," he says. "It was frustrating, too, not knowing if I could practice one day and maybe not practice the next day. So it was frustrating for a lot of people. My hat's off to this organization just for staying patient for me. So I'm just ready to make it all pay off."
While his teammates were putting together a 13-3 season and earning a No. 1 seed in the playoffs, Harvin was off on his own rehabbing his injured hip day after day, week after week.
"Came a time where I thought about maybe just kind of shutting it down," said Harvin, "but the guys just kept giving it to me, kept giving me that positive energy I needed, and it all started turning around for me. So I decided that I was going to give it everything I have and go from there."
Harvin did everything he could to get his hip working again. He spent time in the pool swimming and rode a bike, using any motion that could get his hip functional again. He even did some boxing. And all along the way he had teammates offering their support.
"All of my teammates, all of my coaches, Richard Sherman. He came to me every single day just letting me know that the team will keep it up. He would always say, 'Man we got it. We're going to need you to finish.' He's kept saying that to me."
The eternal optimist, Pete Carroll used a roster spot all season on Harvin. In the NFL where personnel are paramount and injuries force tough decisions to be made, Pete Carroll refused to give up on having Harvin back on the field at some point - he just didn't know when.
"We kept thinking that we had a chance to get him back. He was on the roster all year long and only with the Minnesota game where he could actually help," said Carroll. "We just kept thinking the way he was about it, and the competitor that he is, that he would stick it out; he would give us the opportunity to get him back. We would've loved to have had him earlier, but we're thrilled to have him now."
Harvin's teammates are thrilled, too. Another playmaker, a big one, has finally been added to the mix at a critical point in the season.
"He's fast, he's also quick, he's explosive," said teammate Golden Tate. "When he sticks his foot in the ground and decides he wants to run, I don't think there is a single person in this league who can flip their hips faster than he can before he gets by you. I'm excited to see him play."
On Saturday Harvin will get his chance to make an immediate impact on the season in the divisional round against the Saints. He says the opportunity to play in a game of this magnitude was one of the main things that kept him going.
"I'm just glad to be out there and helping my team win right now. The playoffs, that's what we all dream about. To have home field advantage, all of the things that the team has put in place. It would be hard for me not to try to be out there," he says. "So everything worked out for the best, and I'm looking forward to being out there and helping this team."
Percy Harvin's return may have taken awhile but his timing has never been better.

Bakersfield ruins CSF's homecoming
FULLERTON Cal State Fullerton had not lost at home in 13 games, dating to last season. The Titans had been virtually unbeatable lately at Titan Gym and were looking forward to returning home after a rough two-game trip.
Not even familiar surroundings could erase the Titans' bad habit of blowing double-digit leads. It has happened three times on the road this season and again Thursday in a 72-70 nonconference loss to Cal State Bakersfield.
A series of mistakes and a strong second-half effort by Bakersfield ruined what could have been a pleasant homecoming for the Titans (3-5).
The Titans looked invincible in the first half, building a 14-point lead by halftime — similar to games at Nevada, Washington and Eastern Washington.
As in those previous games, the Titans faltered after the break. The Roadrunners outscored Fullerton, 15-7, in the final 10 minutes to seal the victory.
"I think our guys stopped playing together, stopped playing defense," Fullerton interim coach Andy Newman said.
Newman said there were few positives.
"Maybe they could change the rules and make the games only 29 minutes long. That would be a positive," he said. "It's hard to find a positive after giving up a 14-point lead."
Fullerton's downfall started when the Roadrunners trimmed the halftime lead to 54-51 with a 13-4 run in the second half. Newman called for the Titans to abandon their high-energy offense, but that didn't help them much.
Bakersfield (2-5) repeatedly shut down the middle, forcing the Titans to shoot from outside. Fullerton made just 9 of 27 3-pointers and shot 38.2 percent from the field overall.
"It's hard to run when you're getting scored on all the time," Newman said. "We tried to slow the game down and make it possession-by-possession, so we could rebound the ball a little more instead of get it and go."
The game got testy with 8:24 left when Bakersfield's Corey Hall and Fullerton's Alex Harris got into a brief skirmish in front of the Titans bench, and referee Michael Greenstein was knocked to the floor. After a lengthy delay to check the replays, reserves Steven McClellan and Chris Collins were ejected for leaving the bench.

Getting Started
This is the core code base for the Calendar and Contacts Server, which is a CalDAV, CardDAV, WebDAV, and HTTP server.
For general information about the server, see http://www.calendarserver.org/
Copyright and License
Copyright (c) 2005-2016 Apple Inc. All rights reserved.
This software is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0. The Apache License is a well-established open source license, enabling collaborative open source software development.
See the "LICENSE" file for the full text of the license terms.
WARNING: these instructions are for running a server from the source tree, which is useful for development. These are not the correct steps for running the server in deployment or as part of an OS install. You should not be using the run script in system startup files (eg. /etc/init.d); it does things (like download software) that you don't want to happen in that context.
Begin by creating a directory to contain Calendar and Contacts Server and all its dependencies:
mkdir ~/CalendarServer cd CalendarServer
Next, check out the source code from the SVN repository. To check out the latest trunk code:
svn co http://svn.calendarserver.org/repository/calendarserver/CalendarServer/trunk/ trunk
The server requires various external libraries in order to operate. The bin/develop script in the sources will retrieve these dependencies and install them to the .develop directory. Note that this behavior is currently also a side-effect of bin/run, but that is likely to change in the future:
cd trunk ./bin/develop ____________________________________________________________ Using system version of libffi. ____________________________________________________________ Using system version of OpenLDAP. ____________________________________________________________ Using system version of SASL. ____________________________________________________________ ...
Pip is used to retrieve the python dependencies and stage them for use by virtualenv, however if your system does not have pip (and virtualenv), you can use bin/install_pip (or your installation / upgrade method of choice).
Before you can run the server, you need to set up a configuration file for development. There is a provided test configuration that you can use to start with, conf/caldavd-test.plist, which can be copied to conf/caldavd-dev.plist (the default config file used by the bin/run script). If conf/caldavd-dev.plist is not present when the server starts, you will be prompted to create a new one from conf/caldavd-test.plist.
You will need to choose a directory service to use to populate your server's principals (users, groups, resources, and locations). A directory service provides the Calendar and Contacts Server with information about these principals. The directory services supported by Calendar and Contacts Server are:
- XMLDirectoryService: this service is configurable via an XML file that contains principal information. The file conf/auth/accounts.xml provides an example principals configuration.
- OpenDirectoryService: this service uses Apple's OpenDirectory client, the bulk of the configuration for which is handled external to Calendar and Contacts Server (e.g. System Preferences --> Users & Groups --> Login Options --> Network Account Server).
- LdapDirectoryService: a highly flexible LDAP client that can leverage existing LDAP servers. See twistedcaldav/stdconfig.py for the available LdapDirectoryService options and their defaults.
The caldavd-test.plist configuration uses XMLDirectoryService by default, set up to use conf/auth/accounts-test.xml. This is a generally useful configuration for development and testing.
This file contains a user principal, named admin, with password admin, which is set up (in caldavd-test.plist) to have administrative permissions on the server.
Start the server using the bin/run script, and use the -n option to bypass dependency setup:
bin/run -n Using /Users/andre/CalendarServer/trunk/.develop/roots/py_modules/bin/python as Python Missing config file: /Users/andre/CalendarServer/trunk/conf/caldavd-dev.plist You might want to start by copying the test configuration: cp conf/caldavd-test.plist conf/caldavd-dev.plist Would you like to copy the test configuration now? [y/n]y Copying test cofiguration... Starting server...
The server should then start up and bind to port 8008 for HTTP and 8443 for HTTPS. You should then be able to connect to the server using your web browser (eg. Safari, Firefox) or with a CalDAV client (eg. Calendar).

(New Orleans, LA) – On Friday, Nov. 6, the first woman of color to serve as president of the American Bar Association (ABA) will address a group of aspiring legal eagles at10 a.m. in the Cook Center Theatre on Dillard University's campus. The ABA is the largest professional association of attorneys in the country, with nearly 400,000 members. During her visit, Brown will share her own personal journey into the legal profession and also encourage both Dillard students and high school students to consider and pursue a career in law.
Brown has been recognized by the National Law Journal as one of "The 50 Most Influential Minority Lawyers in America" and by the New Jersey Law Journal as one of the "prominent women and minority attorneys in the State of New Jersey." Throughout her career of more than 35 years, she has held a number of positions, including president of the National Bar Association, in-house counsel to a number of Fortune 500 companies and as a Municipal Court Judge.
While at the helm of the ABA Brown has launched four initiatives that include the Commission on Diversity and Inclusion 360, which aims to give lawyers from all backgrounds a "seat at the table" and developing sustainable action plans for advancement of diversity over the next 10 years. Other initiatives include Main Street ABA and ABA Everyday. Brown received a Juris Doctor from Seton Hall University School of Law and her Bachelor of Arts from Howard University.
"We are excited about having the first woman of color president of the American Bar Association come and share her experience with our students," said Dr. Gary Clark, political science professor and director of Dillard's Center for Law and Public Interest. "Our students are fortunate to have someone of Brown's caliber come and have a face-to-face conversation with them," Clark added. For more information call 504-816-4701.
New Orleans, LA—Dillard University's Theatre Department continues its 80th season with Shine On! Three Plays by Ted Shine October 30-31and November 1 in the Cook Theatre on Dillard's campus. Noted black arts movement contributor, educator, screenwriter and former Dillard Theatre Department Chair, Dr. Ted Shine has returned as a special invited guest for its 80th season production of Shine On! Three Plays by Ted Shine. Strikingly different in theme, setting and characterization, these plays Shoes, Herbert III, and Contribution, demonstrate Shine's skill at creating realistic, artfully constructed dialog that is a stunning, appropriate, thought-filled commentary on the black/human condition. Written in the late sixties, their themes are disturbingly relevant today: gun violence, injustice, and racism and police brutality. These stories stand as a vivid reminder of how far as a society we still have to go.
"The artists involved in the Black Arts Movement used arts as a way to liberate themselves and their people. Thus was the case at Dillard University, then at Howard University, and finally at Prairie View University, with Ted Shine leading the way," said Ray Vrazel, director. "Shine did his part for the Black Arts Movement through writing plays that addressed the issues important to African Americans directly and uncompromisingly. His plays are an embodiment of what the Black Arts Movement was all about," Vrazel added.
The play opened last weekend with the theatre being presented a proclamation from the City of New Orleans congratulating the Dillard Theatre Department on its 80th anniversary. Remaining performances are Friday, October 30 and Saturday, October 31 at 8 p.m.; Nov 1 at 3 p.m.
There will be a community discussion with the director Ray Vrazel and cast members immediately following the closing afternoon matinee performance on Sunday, Nov. 1. For more information about tickets or events, contact Dillard University's Theatre Box Office, 504.816.4857. Tickets are $15.00 for general admission and $10.00 for students and faculty.
About the Dillard University Theatre DepartmentFounded in 1935, Dillard University Theatre is the oldest historically black university theatre in the country. The Theatre department provides professional training in a liberal arts context for future directors, actors, designers, managers, teachers, scholars and related theatre professionals. The department is committed, through its fulltime, part time and cooperating faculty, to creating globally aware artists while perpetuating the highest standards possible.

The Entrepreneur's Corner
A strong verbal brand can empower your company
Did you know that right now, someone could be judging your company's brand based on your email, website content or recent newsletter? After reading each piece, what impression do you think they have: a consistent, well-crafted brand experience or a disjointed story that fails to support any unified purpose?
Whether or not you're directly involved in your company's marketing or communications, every touchpoint you offer the marketplace affects your brand's reputation. At Zuula Consulting, we find that while many companies have a thorough understanding of their visual brand (logos, colors and overall design standards), they frequently overlook another highly important component: the verbal brand.
A verbal brand unites and guides your messages' content and personality so your audiences cohesively understand your company. From our perspective, an effective verbal brand must address three key components: your brand purpose, brand story and brand voice. Your brand purpose captures the reason why you're in business and how you're different than competitors. Knowing these details helps identify your brand story — the unified message expressing your company's purpose. With those attributes established, you create your brand voice: the tone, personality and key phrases that share your brand story in all communication.
Together, these pieces build a solid brand experience where you reinforce exactly who your company is, what you value and why your audiences need you — with every communication. Without a succinct, powerful verbal brand, you risk confusing consumers with inconsistency, creating doubt about your company's purpose and strength.
In fact, imagine your business is an actual person. And with every contact, their personality differs: One day they're soft-spoken and demure; another day, charming and outgoing; and yet another day, abrasive and serious. At first, their inconsistencies confuse you. Eventually, your inability to understand them makes you question whether they're dishonest. With distrust embedded, you now avoid seeing them at all.
The same goes for a business.
By communicating unified, accurate messages about your company, you fuel trust — and understanding of your brand — to consumers. When your company consistently meets (and exceeds) that trust, you develop solid brand loyalty.
And in today's environment, trust is not easy to come by. According to the Harvard Business Review, 62 percent of adults in 20 countries trust corporations less since the recession hit. Diminished trust ultimately leads to lower brand value. Decrease the brand value, and you're constantly challenged to differentiate yourself and reinforce your purpose.
So, in our time-crunched, recession-wary world, how do you effectively communicate value while engaging your audiences so they trust what you provide them?
Start by ensuring a common understanding unites all your communication with brand-focused messages that speak directly to your target market's unique needs. For in the end, if you can't move the market to choose your company over another, you risk losing them altogether. And when you look at companies with amazing loyalty behind them, such as Apple and Disney, your brand — and your customer's experience — has the ability to last a lifetime.

text: I gave up trying to get the standalone buttons to work, maybe Theme related, who knows, but I was able to get the Universal button to work...sorta. It works fine on the desktop, but when I select the Universal button on my smartphone there are a couple of problems. First, instead of getting the list of each social media presented with both text and the graphical icons, on my smartphone it is only text based. Secondly, when I select one of those text based social media items on the smartphone, it never takes me to the actual social media page (Facebook, Google+, etc.). Instead, I get a page with a couple of menus, one which has the menu items "Get Customize FAQ Blog Contact" and a couple of text sentences, one which is "The world's best sharing platform".

I'm trying to make it so I can manually change the permalink of my blog posts. I have another wordpress blog that was set up for me (by a web designer), and when I type in the title of my post, there is a small box below it that I can edit what I want the url to be.
How can I get this to happen on my new wordpress blog? (I'm not sure how he did it...). Right now it's just naming things with p=42, etc.


text:
I want to know if there is a way to change the naming system WordPress uses to name the different size images it makes once you upload an image?
For an example:
If I upload image1.png in my uploads folder there will be different copies of image1.png like image1-150x150, image1-300x100.png and so on.
What I would like is instead of image1-150x150.png is image1-thunb.png, instead of image1-300x100.png is image1-small.png and so on. Is this possible?

The Marvel Ultimate Spider-Man Happy Hauler, from Jakks Pacific's Moose Mountain brand, is a two-in-one toy that converts from a ride-on to a wagon. Press the button on the handle to hear Spidey messages and sound effects. The custom handle transforms from a ride-on seat to a pull handle for a wagon. As a ride-on, there is underseat storage, or kids can use this as a wagon to tow their favorite toys. This is for use indoors and out.
This is a fun ride-on toy for little Spider-Man fans. It's low to the ground with sturdy wide wheels, and its curved design is comfortable for little kids.
The Marvel Ultimate Spider-Man Happy Hauler is for ages 1-6 with a weight limit of 59 pounds.
Because the wheels are pretty much screwed into place, they don't turn and take corners well at all. But a little leg scooting power can accommodate that.
This does require some assembly by an adult, but it takes 15 minutes, and the instructions are easy to follow.
The Marvel Ultimate Spider-Man Happy Hauler includes two AA batteries for in-store try-me purposes, and it's recommended that you replace them for best results.

All scholarship applicants must submit:
The need for acquiring a college education is a must today. Despite everyone's best efforts, the cost of that education is increasing, making it more difficult for some students to afford.

These scholarships provide financial assistance for students who:
Each scholarship is renewable for up to three years, provided the applicant remains in good academic standing. The annual application deadline for the Hudson County Government Scholarship is Aug. 1, or the first business day afterward if Aug. 1 falls on a day when the College is closed.

Hey Deb,Great retrospective about a time that was less friendly to the trucking industry. Also glad to hear that some former detractors have at least partially softened their positions.As an industry, trucking needs to do much, much more to promote its reputation to the public at large. Many great programs like Goodyear's Highway Hero awards recognize the positive side of the industry, but unfortunately, are not well publicized outside of the industry.The Truck Writers of North America (TWNA) organization has endeavored to correct inaccurate mass-media coverage of the trucking industry, and help mass-media journalists learn about the trucking industry. However, the organization does need the help of everybody in the industry to spot inaccurate reporting, so that we can facilitate the outreach process. Links and clips can be sent to [email protected]
All That's Trucking blog is just that – the editor's take on anything and everything related to trucking, with the help of guest posts from other HDT editors. Author Deborah Lockridge's career as an award-winning trucking journalist started in 1990.

Coleman Tyler is no longer in business. It was a home based business and husband and wife split up.
Be careful with the two pins
Be careful with the two pins that lock the upper, mine came out the first day and after couple hundreds of rounds they tend to pop out.
ON ANOTHER NOTE...... If you
If you buy a Plum Crazy lower from ANYBODY, make sure they have to tell them you do NOT want one of the "4 position stocks". Plum Crazy did a down-right dirty move and installed a 4 position MILITARY buffer tube with a COMMERCIAL stock attached. They did it " to keep up with customer demand". I talked to them personally about it.
Guys are getting these incorrectly assembled lowers from several locations. They are ALWAYS the 4 position tube instead of the advertised 6. Make sure you voice your concern before finalizing your order from anywhere!
If you do happen to already have one of these, you have to CALL PCF to have any chance of getting a reply. Don't even bother leaving a message, they are just as sorry at returning calls as they are at answering emails or even paying attention to their OWN website.
PCF will send you the correct tube, but insist you send the incorrect one back. If they do this, return the favor and INSIST they pay a gunsmith to install your tube.
Mark, You should contact
You should contact whoever you bought it from or Plum Crazy... They warranty these for life!

A 15-year-old female soccer player presented with chronic plantar fasciitis. She was treated with acetic acid iontophoresis and a combination of rehabilitation protocols, ultrasound, athletic taping, custom orthotics and soft tissue therapies with symptom resolution and return to full activities within a period of 6 weeks. She reported no significant return of symptoms post follow-up at 2 months. Acetic acid iontophoresis has shown promising results and further studies should be considered to determine clinical effectiveness. The combination of acetic acid iontophoresis with conservative treatments may promote recovery within a shorter duration compared to the use of one-method treatment approaches.

Plantar fasciitis or plantar heel pain is a commonly seen condition and can occur among all age groups, sex, ethnicity, or activity levels.1 It is most frequently seen in overweight male runners (BMI > 25 kg/m2) older than 30 years of age.3 Plantar fasciitis is considered to be an overuse syndrome as it develops over time and is a result of repeated stress that exceeds the body's inherent capacity to repair and adapt which eventually leads to the failure of the ligaments, bones and muscles.3 The plantar fascia acts as a stabilizer of the longitudinal arch, which is very important in the propulsive phase of gait as it serves to make the foot a rigid lever via the "windlass effect" mechanism.4, 5 Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the plantar fascia during the acute stages and most commonly results in heel pain at the medial tubercle of the calcaneus.6 Tendonitis has 3 stages to its inflammation: acute – onset to 2 weeks, subacute 2–6 weeks and chronic greater than 6 weeks.7 Given that it can also be associated with an overuse syndrome, the term – osis would be more applicable than – it is since the former refers to an insidious chronic tendon degeneration due to a partial rupture of the fibres and a mechanical overload while the latter refers to an acute traumatic inflammatory response.8, 9, 10, 11 Tendonitis is generally the old term that is now differentiated into tendonitis – inflammatory and considered a relatively more acute condition and tendonosis – a non-inflammatory and chronic condition.12 Lateral radiographs are usually unremarkable; however a small percentage of patients will have a bony spur located at the medial calcaneal tubercle.13 Hiss sites that the physiological reaction to constant excessive stress loads will cause the formation of new connective tissues progressing from fibrocartilagenous fibers to cartilaginous to bone.14 This adaptive process would normally not produce pain, however if during any stage of the process the stress levels were to overcome the connective tissue formation then micro tearing and inflammation would develop causing the characteristic heel pain syndrome.
Typically, the pain with plantar fasciitis is worse in the morning and improves with walking and stretching or it remains as a constant ache that worsens after a period of rest. The development of plantar fasciitis has been suspected to be caused by overuse and an accumulation of microtrauma and can be related to repetition of athletic activity, improper biomechanics, improper training programs, abnormal anatomy, inappropriate footwear, nerve entrapment, tight triceps surae, fat-pad atrophy, repetitive micro trauma, muscle strength imbalances and range of motion deficits.15, 16 Hypomobile joints do not absorb weight-bearing stress and hence manipulation and mobilization of both the bony and soft tissues are often recommended for the treatment of plantar fasciitis.17 Risk factors for plantar fasciitis include obesity or sudden weight gain, reduced ankle dorsiflexion, pes planus and occupations that require prolonged periods of weight bearing.1 Usually the patient profile will exhibit the following characteristics: excessive pronation, pes planus, tight gastrocnemius/ soleus complex, participation in running activities with a recent history of maladaptive excessive training demands or plantar foot injury.2 Plantar fasciitis is usually unilateral and self-limiting however the typical resolution time is anywhere between 6–18 months. Early recognition and treatment of plantar fasciitis with conservative therapies is usually successful in approximately 80% of cases.2, 18, 19 Unsuccessful cases that have undergone conservative treatments for periods no less than 6 months are typically referred for cortisone injection or surgery with a limited degree of success and the potential for adverse negative results over the long term.19, 20, 21
Treatments prescribed for acute cases of plantar fasciitis usually include general stretch/strength exercises, orthotics, NSAIDs, ice, physical therapy modalities, night splints, activity modification, athletic taping and heel pads.1, 19 In a narrative review of randomized controlled trials, Stuber concluded that the use of joint mobilizations and manipulation, stretching of the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon, orthotics and night splints were recommended over other forms of conservative treatment.19 In cases of chronic heel pain these treatment regimes are typically less successful and require longer periods of recovery. The use of acetic acid iontophoresis prescribed treatments for chronic heel pain has shown promising results within 3–4 weeks and over an extended follow up period of greater than 2 years.22 Iontophoresis is a non-invasive drug delivery system that uses a low electrical current to deliver aqueous ionic solutions transdermally to superficial areas. The aqueous acetic acid is ionized to form the negatively charged acetate ion which is then transmitted through the skin. It has been speculated that the physiological responses to chronically inflamed tissue results in higher concentrations of insoluble calcium carbonate to an injured area which contributes to the ongoing pain cycle and abnormal restructuring of myofascial tissue.22 The acetate ion in acetic acid combines with the calcium ion in calcium carbonate to form more soluble calcium acetate which is then able to dissolve within local blood circulation and be removed from the site of injury.23
The following case study illustrates the use of various prescribed treatments and acetic acid iontophoresis in an adolescent female competitive soccer player with a history of chronic heel pain.
A 15-year-old female competitive soccer player presented with chronic, constant bilateral heel pain and a diffuse, dull ache and stiffness in the anterior thighs bilaterally. Her symptoms initially began insidiously one year ago and were gradually worsening. She reported that she had previous episodes of heel pain in the past but it would spontaneously resolve after 1–2 days of rest. Her symptoms were aggravated by activities involving running and prolonged standing. The intensity of pain was 7/10 in the morning and 4/10 throughout the day. Relieving factors included rest and ice. At that point, she was evaluated by her family doctor and referred for x-rays. X-rays were unremarkable for heel spurs or fractures. She was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and referred to a podiatrist. The podiatrist prescribed a 3 mm rigid, full length orthotic with a neutral heel post and given stretches for the gastrocnemius/soleus muscles. She was instructed to wear the orthotics for all activities and that her symptoms would resolve within 2–6 weeks.
The patient's heel pain mildly improved. After a period of 1 year, she reported that her pain was characterized as a constant, dull ache localized over the medial calcaneal tubercle with an intensity of 5/10. In addition, she developed increasing stiffness and a constant ache in her anterior thighs bilaterally. She reported that she still had severe pain with her first few steps in the morning and especially after intense running the previous day. Her anterior thigh pain was aggravated while playing soccer and limited her playing time to less than 20 minutes. The severe heel pain would last 2–4 hours after onset. The application of ice would reduce the pain intensity but she reported that a constant dull ache was localized to the heel. She was not taking any medications or natural supplements. She had a history of exercised-induced asthma and allergies to pollen. Systems review, previous accidents / hospitalizations and past illnesses were unremarkable and other than the heel pain she was in good health.
This 5'5" soccer player weighed 145 lbs. She is a non-smoker and reported being in good health.
Standing posture evaluation revealed generally good alignment in the lumbopelvic region. She had bilateral pes planus with mild calcaneal eversion and bilateral functional genu valgus (Figure 1).
Ankle range of motion was limited in passive dorsiflexion bilaterally. Extension of the 1st metatarsal phalangeal joint was within a normal range of movement but produced pain along the plantar aponeurosis. Severe tenderness was provoked on palpation over the medial calcaneal tubercles bilaterally (more severe on the right side). Muscle hypertonicity was noted bilaterally in the gastrocnemius/soleus complex. Taut bands were found in the plantar aponeurosis and fascia. Calluses were apparent in the medial aspect of the 1st rays. Joint play revealed restrictions in the subtalar and ankle mortise joints bilaterally.
Active knee range of movement was within normal limits. Resisted knee movements were unremarkable. Mild atrophy was noted in the right vastus medialis oblique (VMO) muscle. Contraction of the quadriceps in extension produced a mild lateral deviation of the patella. Thomas and Ely's tests for hypertonicity of the hip flexors and quadriceps muscles were positive bilaterally.
Active hip range of movement was within normal limits. Resisted right hip abduction was mildly weak. A trigger point was found in the right tensor fascia lata (TFL) muscle. Ober's test was positive for TFL / iliotibial band hypertonicity.
Gait assessment revealed prominent forefoot overpronation with mild foot flaring laterally. One-leg standing functional genu valgus testing was positive bilaterally. Heel and toe walking was normal.
Leg length comparisons were within normal limits. The following orthopedic tests were negative: anterior and posterior drawer, talar tilt, Kleiger's, Thompson's, Homan's, Noble's compression and Hibb's.
Chronic bilateral plantar fasciitis secondary to longstanding poor biomechanical foot function with associated muscle hypertonicity of the gastrocnemius/soleus complex, tensor fascia lata and mild atrophy of the right vastus medialis oblique.
Due to the chronic nature of her heel pain, acetic acid iontophoresis was used at a frequency of 3 times per week for 2 weeks and then 2 times per week for 2 weeks. The treatments were delivered using the Empi Dupel Iontophoresis System with an 80–90 mA·min dosage with 4 ml of 5% acetic acid solution. Acetic acid has a negative ionic polarity so it was added to the delivering pad which was connected with the negative (cathode-black) electrode to repel the acetic acid ions through the skin into the underlying tissue. The buffering pad was placed just above the treatment area over the Achilles tendon and was connected to the positive (anode-red) electrode.
The acetic acid iontophoresis was then immediately followed by a 50% pulsed ultrasound at 1.5 W/cm2 intensity for 8 minutes (Figure 2).
The patient was instructed to limit playing soccer and running activities for the following 2 weeks. She was unable to comply with restricted activity due to a number of injured teammates and she continued to play to her own ability during the course of treatment with restricted playing times and limited practices to facilitate recovery. Bilateral plantar fascial taping using the arch taping technique24 was utilized before games and practices to reduce tension on the plantar fascia (Figure 3). Ice massage or the use of cold packs for 15–20 minutes was recommended daily and after activity to reduce pain and recurrent inflammation.
Once the pain intensity reduced, manual manipulation of soft tissues was used in an attempt to restore normal muscle lengths and joint movements. Treatments began utilizing light myofascial therapy on the plantar fascia and gastrocnemius/soleus complex. Mobilizations/manipulations to hypomobile articulations were performed on the ankle mortise and subtalar joints. As the patient improved, deeper myofascial treatments were applied to the plantar fascia, tibialis anterior, fibularis longus/brevis, tensor fascia lata (TFL) and iliotibial (IT) band. Transverse frictions to the plantar fascia insertion were applied followed by ice massage. At that time, the patient began using a new pair of full-length custom orthotics with a 2 mm thickness, 2-degree medial extrinsic heel post and full heel cushion.
The patient was given daily stretches utilizing 2 sets of 20–30 seconds hold for the following: plantar fascia, gastrocnemius, soleus, tibialis anterior, quadriceps, hamstrings, iliopsoas, TFL and IT band. Foot towel scrunches and scoops were performed to facilitate the small muscles of the foot and stabilize the plantar fascia. Theraband exercises for ankle inversion/eversion and dorsiflexion/ plantarflexion were performed and progressed from red to green to blue bands at a frequency of 3 times per week with 2–3 sets of 15–20 repetitions. Open chain exercises beginning with leg extensions emphasizing terminal knee extension to enhance VMO muscle activity and hamstring curls were prescribed using the Zinovieff weight-lifting protocol to enhance leg strength. This protocol recommends incorporating 3 sets of 10 repetitions with the first set using the 10 repetitions maximum (RM) weight, ¾ RM weight for the second set and ½ RM weight for the third set. Proprioceptive exercises progressed from 1-leg standing with eyes open to eyes closed, standing wobble board exercises to 1 leg stance with leg bends. Functional lower limb strengthening exercises utilizing half lunges and wall squats were used to facilitate closed chain movement patterns. Progressive jogging from 5 km to 10 km with increasing 1 km intervals were prescribed and monitored for symptom aggravation. Once the patient was able to jog 10 km and participate in full practices without aggravating any symptoms, she then returned to regular soccer activity without any limitations.
Acute plantar fasciitis is an overuse syndrome that usually responds quite well with conservative treatment.2, 4, 13, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 It is an overuse syndrome whereby the repair process cannot keep up with the stress that the body endures. The three major sources of stress are poor training technique, repetitive overuse and inherent biomechanical imbalances.3 Large increments in training demands without enough time for recovery can initiate an inflammatory process especially in areas with biomechanical abnormalities. The repetitive sprints and jogging activity sustained during soccer can cause additional aggravation to the inflamed condition. The patient's pes planus with mild heel eversion and overpronation contributed to added tensile stresses on the plantar fascia. Chronic cases of plantar fasciitis present additional variables that can be addressed with the integration of various therapeutic interventions. This case study demonstrated that the combined use of acetic acid iontophoresis, physical therapy modalities, athletic taping, soft tissue therapy, joint mobilization / manipulation, stretch / strengthening exercises and proprioceptive facilitation and orthotics helped this patient return to her regular activities within a period of six weeks.
Treatment using acetic acid iontophoresis had been previously indicated in treating conditions such as myositis ossificans, calcific bursitis and calcific tendonitis. The rationale for treatment would primarily aim at increasing the solubility of calcium deposits in tendons and soft tissues22, 31 to encourage the removal of excess calcium ions from the injury site into the blood stream. With respect to pain generation, current literature focuses beyond radiographic evidence of pathological calcified or ossified structures and places a greater emphasis on the physiological events that precedes this process. Histopathologic changes of patients who have chronic heel pain include an initial low-grade periosteal inflammation, edema, fibroblastic and inflammatory cell proliferation.22 Calcium deposits infiltrate inflamed, dead, or dying tissue despite normal blood calcium levels and normal calcium metabolism.32 One theory proposes that denatured proteins from damaged cells unmask reactive groups that bind with phosphate radicals that attract and bond with calcium ions, which in turn, open collagen bundles causing tissue swelling, fat saponification and further tissue disruption.22 Consequently, these calcium ions break protein cross-linkages with polyaminoglycans like chondroitin sulfate disrupting other protein linkages.33 The continual progression of chronic tissue inflammation due to abnormal stress progresses from a physiological reaction to fibrocartilagenous tissue formation leading to cartilage deposition and eventual bone spur development.22 Shama and Kominsky noted that of 1,000 patients who had been radiographed, only 132 had evident heel spurs of which, only 39% complained of a history of heel pain.22 Thus, it could be reasoned that bone spurs are the long-term pathological response to maladaptive tissue dysfunction and that the deposition of dystrophic calcium that occurs prior to osseous formation is the primary focus of chronic pain generation. Japour et al. describes in detail the theoretical biochemical process where the use of acetic acid iontophoresis converts insoluble calcium carbonate in chronically inflamed tissue to calcium acetate, which is blood-soluble.22 Pulsed ultrasound was used to reduce inflammation, perfuse local blood flow and facilitate the removal of the newly formed calcium acetate into the blood and thereby remove it from the localized area of heel pain.
The use of athletic taping provided temporary mechanical stability and support for the strained plantar fascia.31, 34 The amount of actual mechanical support has been questionable and current literature places a greater emphasis on proprioceptive mechanisms via sensory afferent cues through traction of the tape on the skin to reduce pain intensity and increase muscular and joint support.35 Nonetheless, athletic taping and or bracing are effective means to limit range of motion, increase proprioception and reduce pain intensity to injured structures.36, 37 Studies have shown that athletic taping was superior to anti-inflammatories and heel cup treatments1 or NSAIDs in combination with injections.15 Athletic taping using non-elastic zinc oxide tape to the plantar fascial arch as described in Arhheim was initially used to reduce strain and pain intensity on the plantar fascia.24 In addition, prophylactic bilateral plantar arch fascial taping was utilized before practices and games to encourage a progressive return to soccer activity and limit the aggravation of symptoms. Once the patient had adapted to the new orthotics, the athletic taping was omitted from treatment to evaluate her progressive response.
Ample evidence exists, based on subjective pain relief, symptom resolution and patient satisfaction, to support the continued use of orthotics in treating biomechanical injures in the lower limb, particularly in runners.25, 27, 28 Orthotic intervention is appropriate for those injuries resulting from identifiable abnormal biomechanics such as hyperpronation, excessive rearfoot eversion, high eversion velocity, increase internal rotation, increased impact and loading rate of vertical ground reaction force, excessive supination with increased ankle inversion movements and external rotation moments.28, 38 In addition, orthotics may also derive their benefit by altering muscle activation and proprioceptive mechanisms involved in regulating muscle function and dampening soft-tissue vibrations.28
For plantar fasciitis with associated pes planus, Nawoczenski et al. prescribes a firmer, more rigid orthotic with a medial heel post to help minimize excessive pronation.28 Gross et al. suggests that the custom semi-rigid foot orthotics may maintain medial longitudinal arch height sufficiently to reduce tensile stress within the plantar fascia and provide clinically significant reductions in pain and disability.27 The custom orthotics may incorporate a viscoelastic polymer-filled heel cushion at the medial calcaneal tubercle for additional pressure relief.28 In addition, straight-last footwear with motion control features such as reinforced heel counter and medial midsole reinforcement should be recommended for this foot type.28
In prescribing orthotics, the age, weight, foot type, biomechanical characteristics and activity level should be considered to determine the degree of rigidity and accessory modifications necessary to limit excessive movements of the lower limb complex. This 145 pound patient with forefoot overpronation was initially given a very rigid 3mm thick orthotic with a neutral heel post. Over the course of one year, this orthotic was not successful in significantly reducing her symptoms and led to the development of additional problems in the knee, quadriceps and lateral pelvic musculature. Through clinical experience, it was determined that a 2 mm thick orthotic with a 2-degree extrinsic medial heel post and additional heel cushion was appropriate for her weight level and biomechanical foot dysfunction. This orthotic would be able to provide enough support for the longitudinal arch and limit overpronation and rearfoot eversion. Accommodation to the new orthotic took two weeks with a progressive reduction in lower limb pain and an increased ability to sustain longer running and playing times.
Several manual therapeutic techniques were used to manipulate soft tissue and joint structures to restore normal muscle lengths and joint movements. Initial treatments focused on the plantar fascia and gastrocnemius/ soleus complex to reduce tension and muscle hypertonicity. Manipulation and mobilization of the ankle mortise, subtalar and tarsal-metatarsal joints as well as axial traction were performed in the presence of restricted motion. Deeper myofascial treatments focused on the anterior and lateral leg compartment and the TFL/IT band complex. Brantingham et al. describes the benefits of soft tissue therapy on the plantar muscles and fascia in addition to joint manipulation to restore normal myofascial movement.17 Cross-frictional massage was used to soften and reduce fibrotic scar tissue17 in the plantar muscles and fascia followed by ice massage during the late phases of recovery.
The prescribed stretches were advised to be done twice per day for 20 seconds and included stretches for the gastrocnemius, soleus, fibularis, TFL and IT band, quadriceps, hamstring and iliopsoas muscles. Once the pain intensity reduced, non-weight-bearing stretching of the plantar fascia as described in DiGiovanni et al. was included in the daily routine.39 Towel scrunches and foot scoop exercises were used to facilitate the intrinsic muscles of the foot and reduce plantar fascial tension. Foot inversion/eversion and ankle dorsi/plantar flexion strengthening exercises targeting the extrinsic muscles of the lower leg progressed using increasingly resistive Theraband tubing to reduce muscular imbalance and increase mechanical stability. These exercises were performed every other day and progressed from 2 sets of 15–20 repetitions to 3 sets over a 4 week period. During the 3rd–6th week, a wall pulley machine was used to perform the same exercises within the clinic. VMO facilitation, weighted knee extension and flexion exercises using a weight ratio of 1.3 to 1 ratio was used to target the quadriceps and hamstring muscle groups. Strength progression was monitored utilizing the Zinovieff weightlifting protocol. Closed chain modified lunges and wall squats were used to facilitate compound muscle groups and functional movement patterns. Modified jogging was initiated during this phase of recovery and progressed from running 5km to 10 km with 1 km intervals over a period of 2 weeks.
Proprioceptive exercises were used to facilitate intrinsic and extrinsic muscles to enhance motor coordination, strength and stability thereby reducing tensile stress on the plantar fascia. Balance exercise improves proprioception during both the rehabilitation phase and the competition phase of recovery.40, 41 The proprioceptive exercises progressed from 1-leg standing with eyes open to eyes closed; standing wobble board exercises to 1 leg stance wobble board exercises with leg bends.
Plantar fascitis is a common condition that can be effectively treated by conservative interventions; however, chronic conditions present additional concerns for therapeutic intervention. The results of this study demonstrate that the integrative use of acetic acid iontophoresis in combination with active rehabilitation (stretch/strength programs, theraband and balance board exercises), ultrasound, mechanical control of the foot with taping and orthotics, joint mobilization/manipulation and soft tissue therapies is more effective than the limited approach of just one method. The use of multiple therapies is required to resolve the effects of tissue adaptation due to chronic inflammation while improving musculoskeletal abnormalities and biomechanical imbalances. This integrative approach in the conservative management of chronic plantar fascitis resulted in the resolution of symptoms and a high degree of patient satisfaction within 6 weeks of treatment.
