| Abstract: | Background: Plantar fasciitis is a prevalent cause of adult heel discomfort. The pain is mainly caused by collagen degradation at the plantar fascia's origin at the medial tubercle of the calcaneus. Plantar fasciitis is a syndrome caused by recurrent stress to the plantar fascia at its origin on the calcaneus. It is a widespread foot ailment that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs in a wide range of people, including athletes and people who pursue a secondary lifestyle. Plantar fasciitis affects both men and women, however it is more common in women. Its prevalence and severity are strongly related to obesity. Aim: To compare the effect of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization and stretching technique on pain and foot function in subjects with acute and sub acute plantar fasciitis. Methodology: Participants were briefed about the nature of the study and the intervention. Their informed written consent were taken. 52 participants were selected based on the selection criteria. Prior and after the treatment both the outcome measures, numerical pain rating scale ( NPRS ) and Foot Function index(FFI)were measured. Participants were randomly divided into two groups with n=26 in each group. Group A received IASTM while group B received Stretching technique. The treatment was given for 2 days / week for 2 weeks Outcome measures: Prior and after the treatment both the outcome measures, Numeric pain rating scale ( NPRS ) for pain and Foot Function Index for Function were measured. Results: The group A showed clinical and statistical significance in term of FFI outcome with higher mean difference values resulting in [p=0.001],whereas both the groups Group A ( p value=0.001<0.05)showed equal and effective clinical as well as statistical significance in terms of pain. Conclusion: It is concluded that treatment protocol that the study showed that IASTM and stretching both are significant in terms of clinical outcome and have been proved statistically significant. |
