Abstract
Background: Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a degenerative syndrome of plantar fascia resulting from repeated movement, prolong standing
.and running, that leading to microtrauma and then macrotrauma at its origin on the calcaneus
The purpose of the present study was to compare the effect of myofascial release (MF) only and myofascial release release with fascia stretching
.therapy (FST) in plantar fasciitis (PF)
Method: This study included an intervention group A that underwent MF+FST (n=38) with moderate pain ( Group A1: n=20) and low pain (Group A2: n=18) and a group B underwent MF only (n=26) with moderate pain (Group B1:n=14) and low pain (Group B2: n=12) for 8 weeks, 3
day per week. To find out the desire result Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Foot Functional Index (FFI) was assessed. Result: The data were analysed using JASP software (version 0.18.1). Descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation, were reported for quantitative variables. Normality of the data was confirmed by examining skewness and kurtosis indices. The result showed a significant difference among composite groups in terms of Group A1 (VAS: 5.6, 2.6. P<0.001, Worst pain: 7.4, 3.4. P=<0.001, Morning pain: 7.3, 3.3. P<0.001, Daily pain: 4.0, 1.5. P<0.001); Group A2(VAS: 3.6, 1.7. P<0.001, Worst pain: 5.9, 3.4. P<0.001, Morning pain: 6.7, 4.9. P<0.001, Daily pain: 2.5, 0.8. P=<0.001); Group B1 (VAS: 5.6, 4.6. P<0.010, Worst pain: 6.8, 4.1. P=<0.001, Morning pain: 6.7, 4.9. P<0.001, Daily pain: 5.5, 3.9. P=<0.001); Group B2 (VAS: 3.5, 2.3. P=0.010, Worst pain: 5.0, 3.5. P=0.002, Morning pain: 6.2, 3.4. P<0.001, Daily pain: 4.5, 3.1.
P <0.001)
Conclusion: Also, the results of Holm’s post hoc test indicate a bigger reduction in the scores in the MF+FST group (P< 0.05), Group A1, then
Group A2 superior than two other groups in almost all variable that showed significant intervention effects
