简要总结
Rationale of this research is to evaluate the outcome of two widely used but biomechanically distinct techniques of Taping done for plantar fascia i.e. Fascia taping which supports the fascia, and Low dye taping which realigns with medial longitudinal arch. The significance of this study is to identify which taping technique will improve pain, ankle ROM, foot function and arch flexibility which will help clinicians in identifying the most suitable and effective taping method for the patients
详细描述
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of chronic heel pain, leading to reduced mobility, altered gait, and impaired quality of life. Despite its high prevalence, most conventional treatments focus primarily on calf stretching, orthotic devices, or electrotherapy. Taping is a cost effective and powerful treatment technique, this study is being done to identify which taping technique will improve pain, ankle ROM, foot function and arch flexibility in patients with acute and subacute plantar fasciitis. It is a randomized control trial which will be conducted on 36 patient calculated using G* Power software. Participants were randomly assigned to intervention or control group after a baseline assessment using lottery ticket and opaque envelop. All participants in both groups were evaluated on 6 occasions baseline, post-intervention, post every treatment.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analogue Scale to assess pain
时间窗: 2 weeks
Visual analogue scale to determine the extent of patients pain. The pain VAS is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity, used to record patients' pain progression, or compare pain severity between patients with similar conditions. VAS has a straight horizontal line of fixed length, usually 100 mm. The ends are defined as the extreme limits of the parameter to be measured (symptom, pain, health) orientated from the left (worst) to the right (best).
Foot Functional index
时间窗: 2 weeks
The FFI questionnaire consists of 23 self-reported items divided into 3 subcategories on the basis of patient values: pain, disability and activity limitation. The patient has to score each question on a scale from 0 (no pain or difficulty) to 10 (worst pain imaginable or so difficult it requires help), that best describes their foot over the past week. section (Pain: items 1-9; Disability: 10-18; Activity Limitation: 19-23).

Ankle ROM via Goniometry
时间窗: 2 weeks
Using a goniometer to determine the effect on ankle ROM
Arch Height Index and Arch Height flexibility using AHIMS
时间窗: 2 weeks
Arch Height Index AHI is the ratio calculated by dividing the height from the floor to the dorsum of the foot by the total foot length. Arch height flexilbility AHF is a change in arch height between sitting and standing positions. AHI= Height from floor to dorsum of foot/ Total foot length AHF mm/kN =AH sitting - AH standing/0.4 × body weight
