Joints Mobilization Versus Myofascial Release on Diabetic Patients With

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Diabetes mellitus (DM) increases stiffness and thickness of foot structures. This may alter the foot's biomechanics and increase plantar pressure distribution, mainly on the forefoot region. Presence of plantar heel pain (PHP) also may alter the foot's rollover mechanism and increase plantar loading in the forefoot as a protective mechanism of pain. The risk of diabetic ulcer formation increases with these restricted ankle range of motion (ROM) and increased foot plantar pressure that may present in DM patient with PHP.

The association that has been established previously between limited ankle ROM and PHP leads to a reasonable utilization of joint and soft tissue mobilization in treating diabetic patients with PHP. The aim of this study is to investigate the immediate and short-term effect of a single session of ankle and foot joint mobilization (JM) versus Myofascial release (MFR) on pain intensity, ankle ROM, foot plantar pressure, dynamic and static balance, and functional level of diabetic patients with PHP.

The findings of this study will help to understand the effect of these two interventions on diabetic patients with PHP in term of the previously mentioned parameters. This may guide the physiotherapists to choose the best available technique to treat DM patients with PHP, and that may help to reduce the risk of DM foot complications.

Clinical Trial Description

It is a clinical experimental study of 46 controlled diabetic patients (type II) above 30 years with unilateral PHP who will present to physiotherapy screening clinic through the medical referral. The participants will be evaluated then distributed randomly to receive a single session of either JM or MFR followed by an immediate reassessment and a follow-up reassessment after 2 weeks. The assessment will include ankle ROM, pain intensity (visual analog scale), static balance (one leg stance test), dynamic balance (time up and go test), plantar pressure distribution, and functional level (lower extremity functional scale LEFS). Analysis of parametric data will be done using ANOVA for the repeated measure. LEFS score will be calculated using Mann-Whitney U test for nonparametric data. Alpha < 0.05. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
