IASTM Versus PRT in Patients With Chronic PF
- Conditions
- Chronic Plantar Fasciitis
- Registration Number
- NCT05754697
- Lead Sponsor
- Cairo University
- Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial\] is to compare between the effect of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization and positional release technique in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis
The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:
1. Is there a difference between the effect of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization and positional release technique on pain pressure threshold in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis?
2. Is there a difference between the effect of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization and positional release technique on foot function level in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis?
- Detailed Description
Design of the study:
Pretest - posttest randomized controlled trial.
Subjects selection:
Sixty patients their age range from 30-50 years of both genders with chronic plantar fasciitis will participate in this study according to sample size calculation.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pressure Algometer (Change in pain pressure threshold) Pre-intervention and immediately after intervention Change in pain pressure threshold as assessed using pressure algometer on medial plantar process, with the unit of measurement in kg/cm².
Change in pain pressure threshold as assessed using pressure algometer on gastrocnemius muscle, with the unit of measurement in kg/cm².
Change in pain pressure threshold as assessed using pressure algometer on soleus muscle, with the unit of measurement in kg/cm².
Change in pain pressure threshold as assessed using pressure algometer over the posteromedial aspect of the calcaneus , with the unit of measurement in kg/cm².
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The Arabic Version of Foot and Ankle Ability Measure Pre-intervention and immediately after intervention The foot and ankle ability measure is a reliable, responsive, and valid measure of physical function for individuals with a broad range of musculoskeletal disorders of the lower leg, foot, and ankle.
This self-report outcome instrument is available in English, German, French and Persian. The Foot and Ankle Ability Measure is a 29-item questionnaire divided into two subscales: the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure, 21-item Activities of Daily Living Subscale and the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure, 8-item Sports Subscale.
Each item is scored on a 5-point Likert scale (4 to 0) from 'no difficulty at all' to 'unable to do'. Item score totals, which range from 0 to 84 for the ADL subscale and 0 to 32 for the Sports subscale, were transformed to percentage scores. Higher scores represent higher levels of function for each subscale, with 100% representing no dysfunction.
