简要总结
The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of j stroke myofascial release on planter fascia versus ischemic release on gastrocnemius in patients with planter fasciitis.
详细描述
Planter fasciitis is commonly occur in athletes and females who wear flat shoes. It is caused by the loss of planter fascia flexibility that leads to mechanical overloading of fascial structures. There are some risk factors that are important to consider include age, leg length difference, inadequate footwear, inappropriate walking and running patterns and increased planter fascia thickness. Planter fascia thickness more than 4mm can be considered as an indicative of planter fasciitis.
Myofascial soft tissue mobilization is a low load, long duration stretch to the myofascial complex technique that is given in both acute and chronic conditions which in caused by tightness and soft tissue restriction in the patients with planter fasciitis to restore length, decrease pain and to improve function.
Cupping therapy on gastrocnemius is a medical technique that applies negative pressure over pain areas and pressure points that alleviates pain and improve blood circulation. it could be low-cost and convenient alternative technique to treat planter fasciitis.

研究组 & 干预措施
J Stroke Myofascial Release
Patient is in prone lying position with foot supported. Pressure is applied with the heel of the opposite hand, while a stroke in the shape of the letter J is applied in the direction of the restriction, with two or three fingers, which creates some torque at the end. Myofascial Release techniques will be performed for 20 repetitions.
干预措施: J Stroke Myofascial Release (Other)
Ischemic Release on Gastrocnemius through Dry Cupping
Dry cupping will provided to the subjects thrice a week for 4 weeks in the dry cupping therapy group, a plastic cupping bell will be used. Cups will applied to the painful site for 10 minutes in each session. A manual hand pump was used to create the vacuum for suction. The intensity of the vacuum will based on subject tolerance.

结局指标
主要结局
NPRS
时间窗: 1st day, 2nd week, 4th week
Numeric Rating Scale (NPRS) is most frequently used instruments to measure the intensity of ankle pain with an 11-point numerical pain rating scale (NPRS), where 0 is the absence of pain and 10 represents maximum pain. 1-3 representing Mild Pain (nagging, annoying, interfering little with ADLs), 4-6 representing Moderate Pains (interferes significantly with ADLs), 7-10 representing Sever Pain (disabling, unable to perform ADLs).
次要结局
- FFI(1st day, 2nd week, 4th week)
- Goniometer(1st day, 2nd week, 4th week)
