Clinical Trial Summary

this study will be conducted to investigate the efficacy of combining foam roller and gastrocnemius release on pain intensity level, dorsi flexion range of motion of ankle joint ,dorsi flexion range of motion of big toe and foot function in subjects with plantar fasciitis.


Clinical Trial Description

Plantar fasciitis refers to degeneration and inflammation of the proximal plantar fascia. The condition presents with plantar medial heel pain, often exacerbated following periods of inactivity, such as upon waking in the morning.The term "plantar fasciitis" has been quoted for years, but this is a misnomer as inflammatory cells are not present in biopsies from involved fascia. Therefore, advocate the terminology "plantar fasciitis" to explain the syndrome characterized by pain along the proximal plantar fascia and its attachment in the area of the calcaneal tuberosity with function impairment, implying a more chronic degenerative process than acute heel pain.Research found that both stretching and foam rolling techniques helped reduce pain and increase the ROM. However, the effectiveness of foam rolling was superior to stretching in terms of increased pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) at gastrocnemius and soleus. there was a gap in the previous literature in combined effect of gastrocnemius release and foam roller in managing plantar fasciitis and assessing dorsi flexion range of motion of both big toe and ankle joint along with pain assessment and foot function. sixty patients with planter fascitis will be assigned randomly to two groups; first one will receive manual and foam roller release of gastrocnemius and conventional treatment and the other one will receive conventional treatment only. ;
