Calcaneal Low Dye Taping Plantar Fascial Stretching and Sham Taping in Football Players

Comparative Effects of Calcaneal Low Dye Taping Plantar Fascial Stretching and Sham Taping on Acute Plantar Heal Pain and Functional Activity Level in Football Players

Showing the effect of calcaneal Low-dye Taping on acute planter heel pain and functional activity level in football players.

Study Overview

• Status: Active, not recruiting
• Conditions: Sports Physical Therapy
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Low-dye taping; Other: Plantar fascia stretching; Other: sham taping

Detailed Description

Planter fascia is a fibrous connective tissue originate from the medial calcaneal tubercle and help support the arch of the foot repetitive tensile overload from standing for long periods of time or running causes changes in the aponeurosis. Patient mostly present with pain on first step in the morning or after long non-weight bearing , Tenderness to anterior medial head. Its can first be treated conservatively where 90 % cases treated greater then 6 months of duration. Baseline treatment is given as Rest , Ice , compression and Elevation , with this NSAID ,shoe inset ,Taping, orthotics, deep friction massage and precautions are advised to the patients. Arch taping is most probably used and orthotics in acute treatment is commonly preferred due to its cost.Taping effects most probably overlooked in general gait parameters, patient feedback on pain relief and function recovery.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
numeric pain rating scale	The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a famous strategy to evaluate Pain. The NPRS has a dependable, substantial and delicate instrument to survey torment. Torment score as per the NPRS (0-10), made during the principal strides toward the beginning of the day, was the essential result (0 as "no aggravation" and 10 as "exceptionally serious agony").	3 week
foot and ankle disability index	It is utilized to evaluate the utilitarian restrictions connected with foot and lower leg, action of day to day living and most troublesome errand that are vital for sports e.g., Walk, word related execution, Agony, Rest and Strength. The foot and ankle disability index (FADI) is scored out of 104, with a score of 0 indicating maximum disability and a score of 104 indicating no disability. The total FADI score corresponds to the sum of Activity and Pain subscale scores (maximum score of 88 for Activity and 16 for Pain).	3 week
