简要总结
Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain due to overuse or repetitive stress on the plantar fascia. Risk factors include abnormal foot structure, obesity, and poor footwear. Physiotherapy interventions like foot core exercises and ankle proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) are gaining attention for improving pain and foot function.
详细描述
To compare the effects of ankle PNF and foot core exercises on pain, foot posture, and function in patients with plantar fasciitis.
A randomized controlled trial will be conducted with 50 participants, divided into two groups. Group A will receive ankle PNF and Group B will receive foot core exercises, both alongside conventional physiotherapy.

结局指标
主要结局
The Foot Function Index (FFI)
时间窗: 6 Month
The Foot Function Index (FFI) is a questionnaire used to assess how foot problems affect a person's daily life, specifically focusing on pain, disability, and activity limitations. It involves self-reporting scores on a scale (often 0-10 or 0-100) for various activities, with higher scores indicating greater impact.
Foot Posture Index (FPI-6)
时间窗: 6 Months
The Foot Posture Index (FPI-6) is a tool used to assess foot posture, with scores ranging from -12 (highly supinated) to +12 (highly pronated). A score between 0 and +5 is generally considered normal, while scores of +6 to +9 indicate pronation, and 10+ indicate highly pronated feet. Conversely, scores of -1 to -4 are considered supinated, and -5 to -12 are highly supinated
