简要总结
A Study on Assessing the Effect of Lower Limb Kinetic Chain Activation Exercises with Kinesiotape Versus Conventional Exercises with Kinesiotape on Pain and Foot Function in Subjects with Plantar Fasciitis" aims to compare the effectiveness of two exercise approaches in managing plantar fasciitis. This condition, characterized by heel pain due to biomechanical issues like a tight Achilles tendon, affects about 10% of the population. Conventional treatments include anti-inflammatory drugs, stretching, and kinesiotaping, but the potential benefits of integrating kinetic chain exercises have not been fully explored.
The study compares two groups: one performing lower limb kinetic chain activation exercises with kinesiotape and the other doing conventional exercises with kinesiotape. It evaluates pain and foot function using the Range of Motion (ROM) of the ankle,Pressure algometer, Foot Posture Index (FPI), and Foot Function Index (FFI). The null hypothesis states that there will be no significant difference between the two exercise approaches, while the alternate hypothesis suggests a significant difference in pain relief and foot function. Conducted over six months, the study seeks to provide insights that could optimize plantar fasciitis treatment strategies, improving patient outcomes. Ethical clearance is obtained from Dayananda Sagar University, Bangalore.
