Effect of positional release technique and active release technique on selective biomechanical changes and function of the foot among subjects with plantar fasciitis

All participants diagnosed with plantar fasciitis will be selected for the study. They are briefed about the nature of the study and interventions.  Consent was obtained from all participants before they were randomly divided into three equal groups using a random sampling method.  The demographic data of each patient, including age, sex, side affected, and duration of the condition, were all noted. Pain levels were assessed using pressure algometry, calcaneal pitch angle from X-ray, plantar fascia thickness measured from ultrasound, and foot function using the foot function index scale. Data were collected before and after the interventions. All the participants received the designated interventions 30 minutes per day on 3 days per week for a total of 4 weeks. Collected data were analysed to evaluate the outcome of the study.
