An infection involving the plantar fascia
Plantar fasciitis - An infection involving the plantar fascia Factor
The plantar fascia is a broad band of fibrous tissue that runs along the bottom surface of the foot, attaching at the bottom of the heel bone and extending to the forefoot.
Infections that may involve the plantar fascia include:
- bacterial infections such as staphylococcus aureus
- fungal infections such as tinea (athlete's foot)
- mycobacterial infections such as tuberculosis and leprosy (Hansen's disease)
- secondary infections such as may be associated with diabetes mellitus or complications of surgery; and
- viral infections such as rubella virus or vaccine or parvovirus B19 (erythema infectiosum).
If the veteran had suffered from such an infection involving the plantar fascia, this history would have been identified by the doctor who diagnosed plantar fasciitis.

Having a BMI of at least 30
Plantar fasciitis - Having a BMI of at least 30 Factor
RMA definition
Body Mass Index (BMI) has been defined by the RMA to mean
W/H2 where:
W is the person’s weight in kilograms and
H is the person’s height in metres.
[Note: For Imperial weights and measures, BMI = wt. in lbs/(ht in inches2) x 703.1].
A person with a BMI of at least 30 is considered to be obese.
The RMA has also issued a SOP for morbid obesity. If there is a history of having BMI of at least 30 but the claim does not succeed via this factor, you will be asked to consider whether there is a history of morbid obesity, as this is an extreme form of obesity.
Establishing the presence of obesity
If it is not possible to obtain specific height/weight measurements, a medical comment that the veteran or member was obese will be sufficient. If height/weight measurements can be obtained, the BMI formula should be applied.
A history of obesity may be documented in the evidence. However, the veteran or member may not have sought medical attention and the condition may not have been recorded in medical records. In addition, doctors' and hospitals' records may have been destroyed or can no longer be obtained. Therefore, a statement by the veteran about his or her weight at a particular time will generally be accepted, unless there is contradictory evidence. This weight can then be used to calculate the veteran's BMI.

Inability to obtain appropriate clinical management for plantar fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis - Inability to obtain appropriate clinical management for plantar fasciitis Factor
Appropriate clinical management for plantar fasciitis is usually conservative.
The following measures may assist the recovery process:
- Oral analgesics for pain relief
- Rest by avoiding weight bearing activities
- Orthotics or insole padding for foot protection
- Short-wave diathermy to the affected area
- Gentle therapeutic exercise
If the plantar fasciitis is part of a widespread inflammatory disorder, treatment of the underlying condition.

Increased weight bearing activity involving the foot
Plantar fasciitis - Increased weight bearing activity involving the foot Factor
Members of the ADF frequently experience a sudden increase in the intensity of weight bearing exercise when they commence recruit training, undertake fitness assessments, and engage in military exercises. However, it is necessary to compare the individual's weight bearing activity with prior levels of weight bearing activity to consider whether or not an increase is achieved. The medical officer diagnosing plantar fasciitis is likely to have taken a history of the person's relevant activities leading up to the development of the condition. The increase in weight bearing activity can apply to frequency, duration, or intensity of the weight bearing activity involving the affected foot.

Prolonged weightbearing on the foot on a hard surface
Plantar fasciitis - Prolonged weightbearing on the foot on a hard surface Factor
The factor requires weightbearing (being on the feet) while on a hard surface for at least 5 hours per day. There are no associated definitions. The weightbearing does not require any lifting or carrying of loads, just that the affected foot bears weight (of the body) while on a hard surface. Such would occur when simply standing on any hard surface such as a concrete floor or bitumen roadway, but would also include any running, exercise or other activity undertaken that was undertaken on a hard surface.

The plantar aspect of the foot is the underside of the foot.

Undertaking weight bearing exercise on the foot
Plantar fasciitis - Undertaking weight bearing exercise on the foot Factor
The RMA does not define 'weight bearing exercise', but the factor requires such exercise to be at a rate of at least 5 METs, and involve repeated lifting of the affected foot, for a continuous period of at least one hour, at least once per week, over a period of at least the three months (RH) or six months (BOP) before the clinical onset or worsening of plantar fasciitis.
A MET is defined by the RMA to mean 'a unit of measurement of the level of physical exertion. 1 MET=3.5ml of oxygen/kg of body weight per minute or, 1.0 kcal/kg of body weight per hour, or resting metabolic rate'. At least 5 METs in this context would include brisk walking, running, marching and any exercise or sport where the foot is repeatedly raised.

Wearing inappropriate footwear
Plantar fasciitis - Wearing inappropriate footwear Factor
The RMA defines inappropriate footwear to mean 'footwear that results in excess pronation'. Excess pronation in the foot relates to the turning of the sole outwards with the lateral (outside) margin of the foot elevated. Excess pronation is likely to occur when the shoes worn provide inadequate support to feet, including heels and arches, for the activities undertaken. This scenario may occur if wearing faulty or worn out shoes; or where service personnel, such as members of the SAS are required to run for extended periods in service boots. Since late 2000, service boots have been custom-fitted; and since at least 1990, commercial footwear (sports shoes) have been worn by the military when engaged in formal physical exercise and training.
