Effects of Windlass Versus Calcaneal Taping in Football Player With Plantar Fasciitis.

Официальное название

Effects of Windlass Versus Calcaneal Taping on Pain, Flexibility and Lower Extremity Function in Football Player With Plantar Fasciitis.

Обзор

Plantar fasciitis is a prevalent ailment that affects the plantar fascia, a dense tissue strip that spans the underside of the foot, from the heel bone to the toes. Football players are especially susceptible to this ailment because of the sport's high-impact nature, which includes repetitive sprinting, jumping, and quick changes in direction. Taping has been used for many years for various ailments. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of two taping techniques i.e. windlass taping and calcaneal taping on pain, flexibility and lower extremity function in football players.

Подробное описание

The study will be a randomized clinical trial conducted at the Pakistan Sports Board and The Raider's football club over a duration of 10 months after synopsis approval. The required sample size for each group, after accounting for a 10% attrition rate, will be 17. Two study groups will be established: Group A, which will receive calcaneal taping among football players, and Group B, which will receive windlass taping among football players. Nonprobability purposive sampling will be employed. Data will be collected using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Hubscher maneuver, goniometer, and lower extremity functional scale (LEFS) to assess pain severity, flat foot type flexibility, joint range of motion, and lower limb function, respectively. This comprehensive study aims to contribute valuable insights into the effects of calcaneal and windlass taping on football players.

Вмешательства

• Другое Calcaneal taping
  Calcaneal taping is a method employed to offer assistance and relieve discomfort in the heel and ankle area. Start with a clean surface and apply first tape from lateral malleolus, pulling calcaneus in medial direction and attach to medial malleolus. Apply two more tapes in the same manner going distally. Apply an anchor tape at back of heel.
• Другое Windlass taping
  Begin by anchoring the tape just above the ball of the foot (metatarsal heads). Tear or cut a strip of tape, approximately 2-3 inches long, and place it horizontally around the foot, securing the starting point. Pull the tape diagonally across the bottom of the foot, aiming to support the arch. The tape should be applied with moderate tension to provide support without causing discomfort. While keeping tension on the tape, extend the big toe (great toe) upward. As the toe extends, the tape shoul
