Summary

The Objective of the study is to compare the effectiveness of Instrumental Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and Kinesio taping for improving foot functional status and Quality of Life (QOL) in patients with Plantar Fasciitis. The study will be randomized controlled Trial including 2 experimental groups and 19 participants in each group

Conditions

  • Plantar Fascitis

Interventions

OTHER

IASTM

Graston therapy-8 min per session Procedure: The patient will be lying down with their knee bent 30 degrees. After a 5-minute ultrasound treatment and static stretching exercises.Treatment will be administered using the Graston tool (using the sweep approach). Applying a moderate amount of effort from the medial side of the heel to the metatarsals and from the metatarsals to the medial side of the heel, to-and-fro stroking at a 60° angle will be done on the sole of the foot for approximately eight minutes (60-70 strokes per minute with a 5- to 10-second rest interval. A cold pack will be used for five minutes after therapy. The GT session will last approximately 30 minutes. Conventional Therapy: Therapeutic ultrasound for 5 min Stretching of plantar fascia 5 reps with 10 sec hold) Cold therapy for 5 min Functional status and Quality of Life (QOL) will be assessed before and after treatment of 4 weeks using using tools. Intervention will be conducted once a week for 4 weeks.

KT group

Kinesio tapping (left there for 3 days) Procedure: We will use a standard 2" (5 cm) kinesiology tape. Fascia tape will be applied to the plantar fascia, and it will be left there for three days. For four weeks, it will be applied once a week. The patient will be in a prone position, lying with the ankle joints in a neutral position while applying tape. With the toes extended against the bed or ground. The tape will be marked on the Achilles tendon. It will be cut longitudinally into five slices of equal width. It will be applied to the forefoot by stretching it by 25%. The last strap will be applied with gentle compression across the bases of the five slices beneath the foot and wrapped around the rear foot.(5) Conventional Therapy Therapeutic ultrasound for 5 min Stretching of plantar fascia 5 reps with 10 sec hold) Cold therapy for 5 min
