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.

Preliminary questions [37809]
37846 the veteran has established the causal connection between increased weight bearing activity involving the foot and VEA service for plantar fasciitis.
37845 the veteran increased the frequency, duration, or intensity of weight bearing activity involving side and site of the body, within the seven days before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.
37847 the veteran has established the causal connection between increased weight bearing activity involving the foot and VEA service for the clinical onset of plantar fasciitis.
37849 the veteran has established the causal connection between increased weight bearing activity involving the foot and operational service for the clinical onset of plantar fasciitis.
or
37850 the veteran has established the causal connection between increased weight bearing activity involving the foot and eligible service for the clinical onset of plantar fasciitis.
or
7334 the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred after the end of the veteran's last period of VEA service.
7335 the condition under consideration permanently worsened.
37855 the veteran increased the frequency, duration, or intensity of weight bearing activity involving side and site of the body, within the seven days before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.
37848 the veteran has established the causal connection between increased weight bearing activity involving the foot and VEA service for the clinical worsening of plantar fasciitis.
37851 the veteran has established the causal connection between increased weight bearing activity involving the foot and operational service for the clinical worsening of plantar fasciitis.
or
37852 the veteran has established the causal connection between increased weight bearing activity involving the foot and eligible service for the clinical worsening of plantar fasciitis.
Clinical onset and operational service [37849]
37853 the veteran increased the frequency, duration, or intensity of weight bearing activity involving side and site of the body, by at least 100 percent, to a minimum intensity of five METs for at least two hours per day, within the seven days before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.
37859 on operational service, the veteran increased the frequency, duration, or intensity of weight bearing activity involving side and site of the body, by at least 100 percent, to a minimum intensity of five METs for at least two hours per day, within the seven days before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.
37866 the increase in frequency, duration, or intensity of weight bearing activity involving side and site of the body by at least 100 percent, to a minimum intensity of five METs for at least two hours per day, within the seven days before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration, on operational service, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.
Clinical onset and eligible service [37850]
37856 the veteran increased the frequency, duration, or intensity of weight bearing activity involving side and site of the body, by at least 200 percent, to a minimum intensity of five METs for at least two hours per day, within the seven days before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.
37860 on eligible service, the veteran increased the frequency, duration, or intensity of weight bearing activity involving side and site of the body, by at least 200 percent, to a minimum intensity of five METs for at least two hours per day, within the seven days before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.
37861 as a causal result of eligible service, the veteran increased the frequency, duration, or intensity of weight bearing activity involving side and site of the body, by at least 200 percent, to a minimum intensity of five METs for at least two hours per day, within the seven days before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.
37867 the increase in frequency, duration, or intensity of weight bearing activity involving side and site of the body by at least 200 percent, to a minimum intensity of five METs for at least two hours per day, within the seven days before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration, on eligible service, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.
Clinical worsening and operational service [37851]
37857 the veteran increased the frequency, duration, or intensity of weight bearing activity involving side and site of the body, by at least 100 percent, to a minimum intensity of five METs for at least two hours per day, within the seven days before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.
37862 on operational service, the veteran increased the frequency, duration, or intensity of weight bearing activity involving side and site of the body, by at least 100 percent, to a minimum intensity of five METs for at least two hours per day, within the seven days before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.
37863 as a causal result of operational service, the veteran increased the frequency, duration, or intensity of weight bearing activity involving side and site of the body, by at least 100 percent, to a minimum intensity of five METs for at least two hours per day, within the seven days before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.
37868 the increase in frequency, duration, or intensity of weight bearing activity involving side and site of the body by at least 100 percent, to a minimum intensity of five METs for at least two hours per day, within the seven days before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration, on operational service, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.
Clinical worsening and eligible service [37852]
