Filter by:A reduction of intrinsic foot muscle sizes has been identified in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis. Weaker intrinsic foot muscles has been suggested to decrease the medial longitudinal arch height and subsequently increase extra tensile stress in the plantar fascia, resulting in the chronicity of the condition. Therefore, it is speculated that atrophic intrinsic foot muscles may be a significant risk factor of developing chronic plantar fasciitis. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of an 8-week targeted intrinsic foot muscles exercise regimen on the intrinsic foot muscle size, symptomatic relief, and foot function improvement in long-distance runners with chronic plantar fasciitis.
The investigators are trying to study that there is no difference in improvement of motion between static progressive and dynamic splinting.
Previous studies has discussed the effects of muscle energy technique and counterstrain technique in upper trapezius and low back pain but no comparative study is found on planter fasciitis patients. In this study we are going to compare the effects of muscle energy technique and counterstrain technique with routine physical therapy in relation with pain, functional status and satisfaction level in planter fasciitis patients
Comparison of Static Stretching and Deep Kneading Massage Among Plantar Fasciitis Patients
Plantar fasciitis is a very studied pathology and treated with taping. There are studies that assess the effectiveness of Kinesio taping, as well as taping or low-dye taping, few studies that compare the two treatments and assess which is more effective. In the present work the effectiveness of Kinesio taping and taping will be assessed, as well as whether possible differences among intervention effects exist in terms of pain improvement, comfort and durability of the bandage.
This single-blinded, randomized-controlled trial compares the efficacy of ultrasound-guided onabotulinumtoxinA (BTX-A) injections to the flexor digitorum brevis with current standard of care corticosteroid injections to the plantar fascia for the treatment of refractory plantar fasciitis in patients that have failed six weeks of non-operative treatment.
to compare the effects of massage gun and transverse friction massage on management of pain and disability in patients with plantar fasciitis.
a number of patient diagnosed as degenerative plantar fasciitis will be collected and divided into two groups, group I will be injected by platelet rich plasma and group II will be injected methylprednisolone
One of the pathologies most studied and treated with kinesiotape (KT) is plantar fasciitis (PF). In most of the studies reviewed, it is concluded that there is an improvement in the symptoms of PF when treated with KT: either combined with other therapies or as a single treatment compared to placebo. However, most current studies have limitations because the sample is small, the effect size is small, and the evidence is insufficient or of low quality. In the present work, the aim is to study the effectiveness of KT in PF, and to compare the results with those obtained in a placebo group, which is treated with tape. The researchers will assess the decrease in symptoms prior to performing other definitive treatments. In addition, the variability of the painful symptoms and the durability of the bandage will be studied, in order to determine whether it can be used in the short or long period of time, being able to take it into account and supposing a supplement to the pharmacological treatment.
The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of Virtual Reality and Motor Imagery along with Routine Physical Therapy in motor function and balance in patients with Parkinson disease.
