简要总结
Plantar fasciitis is a prevalent ailment that affects the plantar fascia, a dense tissue strip that spans the underside of the foot, from the heel bone to the toes. Football players are especially susceptible to this ailment because of the sport's high-impact nature, which includes repetitive sprinting, jumping, and quick changes in direction. Taping has been used for many years for various ailments. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of two taping techniques i.e. windlass taping and calcaneal taping on pain, flexibility and lower extremity function in football players.
详细描述
The study will be a randomized clinical trial conducted at the Pakistan Sports Board and The Raider's football club over a duration of 10 months after synopsis approval. The required sample size for each group, after accounting for a 10% attrition rate, will be 17. Two study groups will be established: Group A, which will receive calcaneal taping among football players, and Group B, which will receive windlass taping among football players. Nonprobability purposive sampling will be employed. Data will be collected using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Hubscher maneuver, goniometer, and lower extremity functional scale (LEFS) to assess pain severity, flat foot type flexibility, joint range of motion, and lower limb function, respectively. This comprehensive study aims to contribute valuable insights into the effects of calcaneal and windlass taping on football players.

结局指标
主要结局
numeric pain rating scale
时间窗: 1 week
This is a self-report assessment where participants evaluate their pain using a number scale. The scale normally spans from 0 to 10, where 0 signifies the absence of pain and 10 signifies the most severe agony imaginable.
hubscher maneuver
时间窗: 1 week
It is a method of evaluating the flexibility of a pes planus or flat foot type. The test is performed with the patient weight bearing, with the foot flat on the ground, while the clinician dorsiflexors the hallux and watches for an increasing concavity of the Arches of the foot
calcaneal stance phase angle
时间窗: 1 week
it is the sngle between calcaneal bisection and vertical line to floor when patient is standing erect on flat surface.
lower extremity functional scale
时间窗: 1 week
The Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) is a patient-reported instrument used to assess the level of functioning in cases of lower extremity musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders. The LEFS has 20 questions with scores ranging from 0 (severe difficulty/inability to execute activity) to 4 (no difficulties). The overall score can be calculated by adding the points for each item.
