简要总结
The aim of the present study was to compare the Immediate Effect of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization versus Muscle Energy Technique along with Hot pack on Pain and Range of motion in Individuals with Heel pain.
Participants were recruited in the study depending on selection criteria and Informed consent was taken.
Sixty participants were divided into two groups: 30 in IASTM Group (Group A) and 30 in MET along with Hot pack (Group B) with chit method. Outcomes measures for both the group were VAS for heel pain and ROM for ankle dorsiflexion, pre and post session. Data collection was done and appropriate statistical analyses were conducted for the obtained data.
The study concluded that both IASTM and MET combined with a hot pack were effective in reducing pain and improving ROM in individuals with heel pain. However, IASTM demonstrated a greater immediate effect compared to MET along with hot pack in individuals with heel pain.
