Overview
Brief Summary
This study is a randomized controlled trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of dry needling with conventional physical therapy versus conventional physical therapy on gait parameters in plantar fasciitis: a randomized control trial.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of dry needling with conventional physical therapy versus conventional physical therapy on gait parameters in plantar fasciitis Outcomes variables of Pain , Ankle ROM, gait parameters and activities of daily living in adults (age : 40-60 years ) will be determined using: 1. Numeric pain rating scale 2. Goniometer 3. 30 meter walk test 4. foot and ankle ability measure FAAM Data will be before and after the intervention protocol for each participant. Data collection procedure: Participants of interest would be approached and explained about the research. Informed written consent will be taken. Pre and post intervention scores will be recorded.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pain intensity
Time Frame: 3 weeks
Pain will be measured on Numerical Pain rating scale. The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable").
The Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM)
Time Frame: 3 weeks
It is a self-report outcome instrument developed to assess physical function for individuals with foot and ankle related impairments .The response to each item on the ADL subscale is scored from 4 to 0, with 4 being 'no difficulty' and 0 being 'unable to do'
Gait speed:
Time Frame: 3 weeks
Gait speed = Distance (m) / time (s)
Cadence
Time Frame: 3 weeks
Cadence (steps/min) = steps counted x 60 / time (s)
Cycle length
Time Frame: 3 weeks
Cycle time (s) = time (s) x 2/steps counted
Stride length
Time Frame: 3 weeks
SL (m) = speed (m/s) x cycle time (s)
Range of motion
Time Frame: 3 weeks
Ankle range will be measured with goniometer
