简要总结
The study is randomized and single -blinded. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah International university Lahore.Participants who will meet criteria will be requested to give verbal consent and to sign written consent form. After signing consent form participants will be allocated to the group A and Group B by using computerized generated randomization. Group A will receive ultrasound then Active release technique while group B will receive ultrasound and Positional release technique for 4 weeks. Treatment sessions will be 12 sessions, 3 sessions per week on alternative days for 4 weeks
详细描述
A single blinded randomized clinical trial will be conducted on 26 subjects diagnosed for planter fasciitis from Jawad Club Faisalabad and Alfatah Sports Club, Faisalabad by looking for symptoms and tenderness at heel as mentioned in inclusion criteria and will confirmed by windlass test. Participants who will meet criteria will be requested to give verbal consent and to sign written consent form. After signing consent form participants will be allocated to the group A and Group B by using computerized generated randomization. Group A will receive ultrasound then Active release technique while group B will receive ultrasound and Positional release technique for 4 weeks. Treatment sessions will be 12 sessions, 3 sessions per week on alternative days for 4 weeks. Pain will be measured by Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Foot and ankle disability will be assessed by Foot Function Index (FFI), while gait parameters i.e. walking speed will be measured by 4-meter walking test, and step and stride length will be evaluated by measuring tape by taking foot prints before and after the 4 weeks of treatment period. Data will be analyzed through statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 22.

研究组 & 干预措施
Active release technique
ART performed from long sitting position, the therapist started by shortening the muscle or fascia of affected limb then apply very specific pressure with hand as we stretch tissue is lengthened. Active movement is done whenever possible according to the instructions given by therapist. ART for 8-10 minutes will be given.
干预措施: Active release technique (Other)
Positional release technique
Positional release technique where participant lie supine with the affected limb out of the plinth and then by application of brief mechanical pressure on tender point with one fingertip in order to determine tenderness. The foot should then be positioned, most probably into pure plantarflexion and gentle fine-tuned by rotation, until the score in the tender point has reduce by at least 70%. This position is held for 90 seconds with 3 repetitions i.e. total of 270 seconds was given.
干预措施: Positional release technique (Other)
