Summary

This study will be done to investigate the effect of the selected rehabilitation program for PF on plantar fascia thickness, clinical outcomes such as pain, foot function, dorsiflexion ROM and pressure pain threshold and alignment such as rearfoot eversion angle and foot posture index in patients with PF.

Conditions

  • Plantar Fascitis
  • Plantar Fasciitis, Chronic
  • Heel Pain Syndrome

Interventions

OTHER

stretching exercises

stretching exercises of the plantar fascia, gastrocnemius and soleus

DEVICE

ultrasound

therapeutic ultrasound upon the most painful point on the medial calcaneal tubercle. The parameters involved a pulsed mode (duty cycle 50%) using an intensity of 1.5 W/cm2 and a 1 MHz of frequency for 5 minutes

OTHER

rigid tape

low-dye tapping will be done to provide mechanical correction to plantar fascia and medial longitudinal arch

OTHER

mobilization

mobilization techniques for the talocrural joint in weight bearing and non-bearing positions and subtalar joint

OTHER

myofascial release

deep tissue release of the plantar fascia and flexor hallucis longus in a stretched position of the plantar fascia

OTHER

strengthening exercise

strengthening exercise of the plantar intrinsic muscles using short foot exercise and strengthening of the Achilles tendon and windlass mechanism using unilateral heel raise exercises
