Comparison of effect of taping on PF versus PF and Gastrocnemius taping on pain and function in patients with Plantar fasciitis
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Increased pressure on the plantar fascia ligaments due to sudden weight gain, excessive standing, prolonged walking periods, limited dorsiflexion range of motion, high body mass index are some predisposing factors for development of plantar heel pain which is one of the common complaints. According to research, improper functioning of gastrocnemius muscle is also responsible for plantarfascitis. So the current study focuses on taping gastrocnemius muscle along with plantarfascia to check its effect on plantarfascia pain using NRS and Foot function index over a period of 5 days. Purpose of the study: To compare the effect of kinesio taping on PF versus PF and gastrocnemius taping on pain and function in patients with plantar fasciitis. Materials and Methodology: After fulfillment of the inclusion criteria, a total 26 subjects were randomly allocated in plantar fascia taping group and plantar fascia with gastrocnemius taping group, each group consisting of 13 subjects. The total duration of treatment session was of 5 days. Initial 3 days, supervised conservative treatment was given and on 3rd day taping was applied for consecutive 2 days and HEP was given to subjects. Assessment of outcome measures were NRS and FFI done at pre 1st day, 3rd day and post 5 th day intervention. Results: On the statistical analysis, there was significant reduction of pain but foot function index did not show significant difference in intergroup analysis. However in the intra group, there was significant reduction of pain and improvement in the foot function index. Conclusion: Based on the statistical analysis of the present study it can be concluded that kinesiotaping for gastrocnemius and plantar fascia is more effective than plantar fascia taping alone in reduction of pain in inter and intra group analysis but no significant difference was found in foot function index in the intergroup analysis post 5 days of intervention
