Journal Title: International Journal of Allied Medical Sciences and Clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Objectives To assess the added effect of Cyriax deep friction massage along with conventional treatment on functional ability in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis. Methods In this experimental study, 26 subjects with chronic plantar fasciitis were randomly allocated into two groups; control and experimental group. The control group received conventional therapy consists of ultrasound, tendoachilis stretching, plantar fascia stretching and intrinsic muscle strengthening. Experimental group received Cyriax deep friction massage along with conventional therapy. Treatment was given thrice a week for 2 weeks alternatively. Foot Function Index (FFI) Scale was used to assess the functional ability. Data analysis was done pre and post treatment. Result On pre post analysis, FFI score showed significant improvement in both control (P=0.0002) as well as experimental (P=0.0002) group. However between group analysis FFI showed significant improvement in experimental group (P<0.0001, U=8.000) Conclusion Cyriax deep friction massage along with conventional therapy was more effective in improving functional ability in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis.
