Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Planter fascia is a fibrous connective tissue originate from the medial calcaneal tubercle and help support the arch of the foot repetitive tensile overload from standing for long periods of time or running causes changes in the aponeurosis. Patient mostly present with pain on first step in the morning or after long non-weight bearing , Tenderness to anterior medial head. Its can first be treated conservatively where 90 % cases treated greater then 6 months of duration. Baseline treatment is given as Rest , Ice , compression and Elevation , with this NSAID ,shoe inset ,Taping, orthotics, deep friction massage and precautions are advised to the patients. Arch taping is most probably used and orthotics in acute treatment is commonly preferred due to its cost.Taping effects most probably overlooked in general gait parameters, patient feedback on pain relief and function recovery.

Intervention Model

CROSSOVER

The study would be a RCT (Randomized control trial) at Pakistan sports board in which convenience sampling technique would be used .This study include total 21 participants and for this purpose lotare method would be used to select the participants on comparison of calcaneal taping , planter fascia stretching and sham taping for one week for acute treatment . Each groups contain 7 participants with heel pain with baseline treatment will be given to each of the groups .
