Effect of manual therapy & kinesiotaping on pain, ankle range of motion (ROM) & function in plantar fasciitis: a comparative study
Journal Title: International Journal of Allied Medical Sciences and Clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Background & Purpose It has been estimated that plantar fasciitis affects as much as 10% of the general population over the course of a lifetime. This study will help to explain the comparison between effect of kinesiotaping & effect of manual therapy. The aim is to find out which technique shows early effect. Method Total 48 patients were screened from which 30 patients were in inclusion criteria. The patients were randomly divided into two groups Group A & B. Group A was treated with kinesiotaping & Group B was treated with manual therapy (Maitland mobilization). The conventional treatment includes ice pack, intrinsic muscle strengthening, stretching of gastrocnemius, soleus, tendoachilles, plantar fascia was given to both the groups. Results Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to examine changes within same group which shows p value for pain group A (p= <0.0001) & group B (p= < 0.0001) & for function group A (p= 0.0001) & group B (p=0.0010) i.e. statistically significant. Mann-Whitney U test was used to examine changes between two groups which shows p value for pain & function (p= 0.0865), (p= 0.7398) respectively i.e. statistically not significant. Paired t-test was used to examine the changes within same group which shows p value for ROM group A (p= <0.0001) & group B (p= <0.0001) i.e. statistically significant & unpaired t-test was used for the changes between two groups, p value for ROM (p= 0.8990) i.e. statistically not significant. Which shows both the techniques were equally effective. Conclusion The study concluded that manual therapy & kinesiotaping are equally effective on pain, ROM & function in plantar fasciitis.
