In an experiment using cadavers, it was found that failure of the plantar fascia averaged at loads of 1189 ± 244 newtons [3] (121 ± 24 kgf or 267 ± 55 lbf). Failure most often occurred at the proximal attachment to the calcaneus, which is consistent with the usual location of symptoms (i.e. in plantar fasciitis).
