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

Conditions

Plantar Fascitis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Pain Intensity

  Pain is assessed by using numeric main rating scale comparing pre and post pain intensity. This is 11- point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g., "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme

  2 weeks

• Range of Motion at ankle joint

  Goniometer will be used to measure the pre and post treatment ranges of dorsiflexion and plantar flexion of ankle in supine and sitting positions.

  2 weeks

• Cadence (steps/min)

  Will asses gait parameters through 30 meters walk test. steps counted x 60 / time (s)

  2 weeks

• Cycle time (s)

  Will asses gait parameters through 30 meters walk test. time (s) x 2/steps counted

  2 weeks

• Gait speed

  Will asses gait parameters through 30 meters walk test. Distance (m) /time (s)

  2 weeks

• Stride length(m)

  Will asses gait parameters through 30 meters walk test. speed (m/s) x cycle time (s)

  2 weeks

Kinesiotaping 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
