Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of Virtual Reality and Motor Imagery along with Routine Physical Therapy in motor function and balance in patients with Parkinson disease.

Conditions

Plantar Fasciitis

Keywords

Plantar Fascitis; Randomized Control Trial; Myofascial Release; Soft Tissue Mobilization; Ergon Instruments; Comparison

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Range of Motion

  Goniometer has been the most widely used tool for measuring joint range of motion. To ensure reliable measurement, standardized, specific positions and landmarks are used to measure each joint movement.

  12th Week

• Visual Analogue Scale

  The Visual Analog Scale is a 10 cm line with anchor statements on the left, no pain and on the right, extreme pain.

  12th Week

• Foot and Ankle Disability Index

  The Foot and Ankle Disability Index has 26 items. Each item is scored from 0; unable to do, to 4; no difficulty at all. The Foot and Ankle Disability Index has a total point value of 104 points.

  12th Week

• Foot and Ankle Ability Measure

  The Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) is a self-report outcome instrument/questionaire developed to assess physical function for individuals with foot and ankle related impairments. 8-item Sports Subscale. Each item is scored on a 5-point Likert scale (4 to 0) from 'no difficulty at all' to 'unable to do'. Item score totals, which range from 0 to 84 for the ADL subscale and 0 to 32 for the Sports subscale, were transformed to percentage scores. Higher scores represent higher levels of function for each subscale, with 100% representing no dysfunction.

Study Arms (2)

Instrument-assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization

EXPERIMENTAL

1. Warm-up will be performed for 10 to 15 minutes by light jogging, elliptical machine, stationary cycle or an upper body ergometer 2. Instrument-assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization , will be applied at 30 to 60 degrees angle for 40 to 120 seconds 3. Stretching, for 30 seconds (3 rep) 4. Strengthening exercises, high repetitions with low intensity exercise 5. Cryotherapy for 10 to 20 min

Other: Instrument-assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization

Compressive Myofascial Release Technique

EXPERIMENTAL

Compressive myofascial release technique will be applied 5 minutes, after a warmup of 10 to 15 minutes.

Other: Compressive Myofascial Release Technique

Interventions

Instrument-assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization OTHER

Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization is used for a mechanical benefit for the therapist providing deeper approach and braces remodeling of connective tissues through dissolution of extravagant fibrosis, while provoking repair and reconstructing forwarded by the recruitment of fibroblast.

Instrument-assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization

Compressive Myofascial Release Technique OTHER

Compressive Myofascial Release Technique is a technique of soft tissue stretching that uses compression and sustained myofascial stretches to create a releasing force in the targeted area

Compressive Myofascial Release Technique
