Brief Summary

THIS STUDY IS A RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIAL AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY IS TO DETERMINE THE EFFECTS OF KINESIO TAPING ON GAIT PARAMETERS IN PATIENTS WITH PLANTAR FASCITIS

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to determine the difference between efffects of KInesio taping combined with traditional physical versus physical therapy alone.

The individual of Age 20-40 years among both genders and are diagnosed cases of plantar fasciitis Pain levels will be assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). ROM will be assessed through goniometry. Gait parameters will be assessed through 30 meter walk test. Participants of interest would be approached and explained about the research. Informed written consent will be taken. It is a single-blinded study and randomization will be done through coin toss method. Both groups will receive conventional intervention. Additionally, Group B will receive kinesio taping treatment. Baseline and post intervention scores would be recorded for both groups.

Conditions

2. Stretching exercises (5 repetition 2 sets/day) Standing calf stretch Seated plantar fascia stretch Plantar fascia massage Achilles stretch Frozen can roll Towel stretch

Kinesio taping + Traditional physical therapy group

Group B will receive :

1. TENS+cold pack For 10 mins on plantar ascpect of foot

2. Stretching exercises (5 repetition 2 sets/day) Standing calf stretch Seated plantar fascia stretch Plantar fascia massage Achilles stretch Frozen can roll Towel stretch

3. Kinesio taping:

(30 minutes session thrice a week for 2 consecutive weeks with total of 6 sessions)

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Traditional Physical Therapy

Intervention Type: OTHER

1. TENS+cold pack (For 10 mins on plantar ascpect of foot)

2. Stretching exercises (5 repetition 2 sets/day) Standing calf stretch Seated plantar fascia stretch Plantar fascia massage Achilles stretch Frozen can roll Towel stretch

Kinesiotaping

Intervention Type: OTHER

In the first step, after the metatarsophalangeal joints is dorsiflexed, the first strap will be adhered firmly to the posterior heel at its proximal end. The other end of the strap is cut into four slices of equal width. Each slice is applied with a 50% stretch (50% tensile strain) and attached to the plantar forefoot. In the second step, another strap is applied with gentle compression across the bases of the four slices beneath the foot and wrapped around the rearfoot
