Medial Longitudinal Arch Support and Plantar Fascia Stretch Taping in Plantar Fasciitis

Официальное название

Comparison of Medial Longitudinal Arch Support and Plantar Fascia Stretch Taping Techniques in Plantar Fasciitis

Обзор

Rationale of this research is to evaluate the outcome of two widely used but biomechanically distinct techniques of Taping done for plantar fascia i.e. Fascia taping which supports the fascia, and Low dye taping which realigns with medial longitudinal arch. The significance of this study is to identify which taping technique will improve pain, ankle ROM, foot function and arch flexibility which will help clinicians in identifying the most suitable and effective taping method for the patients

Подробное описание

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of chronic heel pain, leading to reduced mobility, altered gait, and impaired quality of life. Despite its high prevalence, most conventional treatments focus primarily on calf stretching, orthotic devices, or electrotherapy. Taping is a cost effective and powerful treatment technique, this study is being done to identify which taping technique will improve pain, ankle ROM, foot function and arch flexibility in patients with acute and subacute plantar fasciitis. It is a randomized control trial which will be conducted on 36 patient calculated using G\* Power software. Participants were randomly assigned to intervention or control group after a baseline assessment using lottery ticket and opaque envelop. All participants in both groups were evaluated on 6 occasions baseline, post-intervention, post every treatment.

Вмешательства

• Другое Medial longitudinal arch support taping using low dye tape
  Low dye Taping which is applied by patient lying supine on treatment table. No tension is applied due to the characteristics of the tape and it is described in the following steps; placement of a strip in the area of the metatarsal heads, in the dorsal area placement of a strap on the back, forming a circle with the front strap and in the plantar area; a figure of eight was made, starting from the side of the fifth metatarsal, surrounding the heel and ending at the starting point, the same opera
• Другое Fascia Stretch taping using KT tape
  Fascia Taping which is applied in which In the first step, after the metatarsophalangeal joints were dorsiflexed, the first strap was adhered firmly to the posterior heel at its proximal end. The other end of the strap was cut into four slices of equal width. Each slice was applied with a 50% stretch (50% tensile strain) and attached to the plantar forefoot. In the second step, another strap was applied following the same pattern and overlapped the first strap. In the third step, the last strap
