简要总结
Fibular neuropathy frequently manifests as foot drop, muscle weakness, altered gait, and sensory loss, all of which severely reduce mobility and quality of life. There is still uncertainty regarding the efficacy of kinesio taping (KT), proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), and functional strength training (FST) in combination. Although PNF improves neuromuscular coordination, KT provides proprioceptive input, and FST increases strength and mobility, there are no set treatment guidelines and little research has compared these modalities. In order to contribute to evidence-based rehabilitation techniques for people with fibular neuropathy, this study attempts to assess whether adding PNF to FST and KT improves functional outcomes compared to FST and KT alone.

入选标准
- •• Adults (18-35 years old) are diagnosed with fibular neuropathy due to trauma or compression.
- •Patients with muscle weakness, impaired balance and abnormal gait.
- •Both Male and female participants will be included.
- •Patients who test positive to the drag or slap test will be considered positive if the patient have difficulty in lifting the forefoot while walking, leading to dragging of the toes or compensatory hip/knee movements.
排除标准
- •• Recent foot or ankle surgery (<6 months).
- •Complete loss of nerve supply
- •Severe musculoskeletal or neurological conditions (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, myopathies, severe osteoarthritis, severe compression, progressive neuropathies, severe balance and fall risk, Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and peripheral vascular diseases).
- •Allergies to Kinesio tape materials.
- •Patients who are not psychologically fit such as those who have undergone trauma and patients with severe psychological disorders (major depressive disorder, PTSD, schizophrenia) will be excluded if they have had a diagnosis within the last 6 months.
