Summary

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

Detailed description

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.
