NCT06740617 | Not Yet Recruiting

• 1 other identifier: P.T.REC/012/005501
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 52
• Locations: 0 countries
• Sites: N/A

Brief Summary

this study will be conducted to investigate the difference in balance and ankle proprioception between calcaneus spur patients and age matched normal subjects

Conditions

Calcaneal Spur

Keywords

calcaneal spur; balance; ankle proprioception

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• dynamic balance

  the Biodex Balance System (BBS) ,Version 3.1, has been used to evaluate postural balance

  up to one day

• static balance

  The single-leg stance balance test will be used to assess static balance.

  up to one day

• ankle propriception

  digital inclinometer will be used to assessed ankle proprioception

  up to one day

• foot disability

  A Foot Function Index (FFI) will be used to assess foot disability. The pain subcategory consists of 9 items and measures foot pain in different situations, such as walking barefoot versus walking with shoes. The disability subcategory consists of 9 items and measures difficulty performing various functional activities because of foot problems, such as difficulty climbing stairs. The activity limitation subcategory consists of 5 items and measures limitations in activities because of foot problems, such as staying in bed all day. Recorded on a visual analogue scale (VAS), scores range from 0 to 100 mm, with higher scores indicating worse pain. Both total and subcategory scores are calculated

  up to one day

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• integrity of the plantar fascia ligament

  up to one day

Study Arms (2)

calcaneal spur group

twenty six patients with calcaneal spur will participate in this group

healthy group

twenty six healthy subjects will participate in this group

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 40 Years - 60 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

fifty two subjects will be assigned to two group; group with calcaneal spur and healthy group

You may qualify if:

• age will range from 40-60
• both sex male and female
• unilateral calcaneal spur
• Patients with pain and inflammation at the bottom of heel, or the location where the spur is present.
• All subjects have body mass index less than 29 kg/cm2
• sharp pain like a knife in the heel when standing up in the morning
• pain may also appear at the end of the day or after spending long periods of time on the feet
• sharp pain with the first steps in the morning or after a long period of rest and dissipating when weight bearing is initiated.
• All diagnosed patients, were evaluated and confirmed radiologically by specialist doctor, by performing a standard X-ray foot profile image

You may not qualify if:

• Surgery within the last 6 months
• Sensory or motor paralysis -Received steroid injections within the last 3 months-
• discrepancy in length of the lower extremities greater than or equal to 1 cm.
• systemic disease in the last six months that may predispose to heel pain(e.g., rheumatoid arthritis and lupus). (Dudoniene V et al.,2023).
• Calcaneal spurs are associated with various medical conditions, including obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Reiter's disease, and spondylarthritis.
