About this trial

THIS STUDY IS A RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIAL AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY IS TO DETERMINE THE EFFECTS OF KINESIO TAPING ON GAIT PARAMETERS IN PATIENTS WITH PLANTAR FASCITIS

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Both genders

Age 20-40 years

Diagnosed Cases of plantar fasciitis as per diagnosis criteria established by APTA

Heel pain precipitated by a recent increase in weight-bearing activity

Disqualifiers

Recent steroid injections

History of ankle or foot surgery

Arthritis history

Radiculopathy

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Traditional Physical Therapy

    Other intervention

    1. TENS+cold pack (For 10 mins on plantar ascpect of foot) 2. Stretching exercises (5 repetition 2 sets/day) Standing calf stretch Seated plantar fascia stretch Plantar fascia massage Achilles stretch Frozen can roll Towel stretch

  • Kinesiotaping

    Other intervention

    In the first step, after the metatarsophalangeal joints is dorsiflexed, the first strap will be adhered firmly to the posterior heel at its proximal end. The other end of the strap is cut into four slices of equal width. Each slice is applied with a 50% stretch (50% tensile strain) and attached to the plantar forefoot. In the second step, another strap is applied with gentle compression across the bases of the four slices beneath the foot and wrapped around the rearfoot

Treatment groups

56 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Traditional Physcial therapy groupActive comparator 1 intervention
Group B: Kinesio taping + Traditional physical therapy groupExperimental treatment 2 interventions

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Pain Intensity

Pain is assessed by using numeric main rating scale comparing pre and post pain intensity. This is 11- point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g., "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme

Time frame
2 weeks
2

Range of Motion at ankle joint

Goniometer will be used to measure the pre and post treatment ranges of dorsiflexion and plantar flexion of ankle in supine and sitting positions.

Time frame
2 weeks
3

Cadence (steps/min)

Will asses gait parameters through 30 meters walk test. steps counted x 60 / time (s)

Time frame
2 weeks
4

Cycle time (s)

Will asses gait parameters through 30 meters walk test. time (s) x 2/steps counted

Time frame
2 weeks
