In an attempt to gain insight into the etiology of heel pain, the heel pad was studied via dissection. The dynamic action of the heel pad as well as varying stimuli interpreted as pain were examined in view of their integral relationship to body functions. It is believed that the major role played by the heel pad has to do with pressure, and the larger number of nerve endings present to respond to pressure suggests that these are also the nerve endings responsible for the sensation of pain.
为深入了解足跟痛的病因，通过解剖研究了足跟垫。鉴于足跟垫与身体功能的整体关系，对其动态作用以及被解释为疼痛的不同刺激进行了研究。人们认为足跟垫所起的主要作用与压力有关，大量存在的对压力作出反应的神经末梢表明，这些也是负责疼痛感觉的神经末梢。
