• 1 other identifier: REC/RCR & AHS/23/0122
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 40

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of j stroke myofascial release on planter fascia versus ischemic release on gastrocnemius in patients with planter fasciitis.

Conditions

Plantar Fascitis

Keywords

planter fascitis; J stroke myofascial release; Ischemic release on gastrocnemius

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• NPRS

  Numeric Rating Scale (NPRS) is most frequently used instruments to measure the intensity of ankle pain with an 11-point numerical pain rating scale (NPRS), where 0 is the absence of pain and 10 represents maximum pain. 1-3 representing Mild Pain (nagging, annoying, interfering little with ADLs), 4-6 representing Moderate Pains (interferes significantly with ADLs), 7-10 representing Sever Pain (disabling, unable to perform ADLs).

  1st day, 2nd week, 4th week

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• FFI

  1st day, 2nd week, 4th week

• Goniometer

  1st day, 2nd week, 4th week

Study Arms (2)

J Stroke Myofascial Release

EXPERIMENTAL

Patient is in prone lying position with foot supported. Pressure is applied with the heel of the opposite hand, while a stroke in the shape of the letter J is applied in the direction of the restriction, with two or three fingers, which creates some torque at the end. Myofascial Release techniques will be performed for 20 repetitions.

Other: J Stroke Myofascial Release

Ischemic Release on Gastrocnemius through Dry Cupping

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Dry cupping will provided to the subjects thrice a week for 4 weeks in the dry cupping therapy group, a plastic cupping bell will be used. Cups will applied to the painful site for 10 minutes in each session. A manual hand pump was used to create the vacuum for suction. The intensity of the vacuum will based on subject tolerance.

Other: Ischemic Release on Gastrocnemius through Dry Cupping

Interventions

J Stroke Myofascial Release OTHER

Group A will receive J stroke myofascial release on planter fascia (with hot pack for 10-15 minutes on calf) 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks.

J Stroke Myofascial Release

Ischemic Release on Gastrocnemius through Dry Cupping OTHER

Group B will ischemic release on gastrocnemius (with hot pack for 10-15 minutes on calf) 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks.

Ischemic Release on Gastrocnemius through Dry Cupping
