Effectiveness of Specialized Myofascial Release among Patients with Plantar Fascitis

Abstract

Abstract Background: Planter fasciitis is an inflammatory and disabling condition that needs outmost assessment of the total biomechanical system regarding function of ankle and foot. The fascia itself may be a representative cause for painful ambulation sometimes the entire muscular system of lower limbs even back can be involved responding to mechanical impediment of the fascia in sole of foot. Hence the flexibility of fascia as well as the normalization of muscle tension of surrounding structure can enable comprehensive care and modulates the outcome of physiotherapy. Aim: The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of specialized myofascial release (Shahadat’s structural Diagnosis and Management) along with physiotherapy interventions in Planter fasciitis. Methodology: Experimental design of quantitative research which was Randomized Controlled Trail (RCT) sign was conducted in the exploratory investigation. It was a single blinded investigation where the members were blinded. Result: 30 patients has been randomly assigned to shahdat’s MFR and control group. Till now, this is the maiden study in on Shahadat’s Structural diagnosis and management. The approaches found as a scientific based approach to improve the impairments related to pain, dysfunction, ROM, disability and overall health for the patient’s with planter fasciitis. The result concludes both group had significant improvement from baseline, hence Shahadat’s specialized MFR is superior in improving range of motion of ankle. Conclusion: The study needs to be strengthen concentrating on the limitations and also implementation to the findings in imperial phases is necessary to elevate the treatment approaches in patients having planter fasciitis or planter heel pain.
