Brief Summary

Achilles tendinitis is a common condition that cause pain along back of leg near the heal. It is an overuse injury of the Achilles tendon, the band of tissue that connect calf muscles at the back of the lower leg to heel bone. There are number of treatment approaches to relieve pain in Achilles tendonitis . Insufficient literature has discuss the combine effect of myofascial release with eccentric resistance. So the aim of the study is to compare the effect of myofascial release with eccentric resistance and without eccentric resistance on pain , range of motion and functional disability in patient with Achilles tendinitis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • pain intensity

    pain intensity will be measured by Numeric Pain Rating Scale

    change in pain intensity score will be measured at baseline , at 2nd week , at 4th week

  • Range of motion

    Range of motion will be measured by goniometer

    Change in range of motion score will be measured at baseline , at 2nd week , at 4th week

  • Functional disability

    Functional disability will be measured by ankle foot disability index

    change in Function disability score will be measured at baseline, at 2nd week , at 4th week

Study Arms (2)

Myofascial release

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Group A: This group will receive routine physiotherapy with myofascial release. This protocol will be given for 3 alternative days per week. Each session will be of 45 minutes. Data will be collected at baseline, at 2nd week and at 4th week.

Other: myofascial release

eccentric resistance exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

Group B: This group will receive routine physiotherapy and myofascial release with eccentric resistance exercise . This protocol will be given for 3 alternative days per week. Each session will be of 60 minutes. Data will be collected at baseline, at 2nd week and at 4th week.

Other: eccentric resistance exercise

Interventions

eccentric resistance exerciseOTHER

The subject will lying prone on a treatment table. One end of eccentric resistance band will tie around the mid of the foot of indvidual, the other end of the resistance band will be attach to the table and the band is adjusted so that it will tight and there will be no slack present in it. It will provide a smooth eccentric resistance throughout the dorsiflexion range

eccentric resistance exercise
myofascial releaseOTHER

The subject will lye prone on a treatment table. Deep longitudinal massage with the help of both thumbs reinforcing eachother will be given on the subject's calf muscles.
