Effect of Myofascial Release With and Without Taping in Patient With Heel Spur: (MFR-Taping)

14. maj 2026 opdateret af: Sehrish Shahzad, Green International University

Effect of Myofascial Release With and Without Taping in Patient With Heel Spur: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The current study is a randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of myofascial release therapy used alone versus myofascial release combined with clinical taping for individuals with heel spurs. The trial aims to evaluate improvements in pain, foot function, and overall disability. Interventions will be delivered twice weekly for a specified duration. The primary outcome is pain reduction, while secondary outcomes include improved foot function and reduced disability. The hypothesis is that the combination of myofascial release and taping will result in significantly greater clinical improvements compared to myofascial release alone.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

Heel spur is a common musculoskeletal condition often associated with chronic plantar heel pain and functional limitations. This study will evaluate the added value of clinical taping when used in conjunction with Myofascial Release (MFR) therapy. Combining these approaches may offer a complementary effect by addressing both the soft tissue restrictions through manual therapy and providing mechanical support and proprioceptive feedback via taping. The trial uses a randomized controlled design to compare two intervention groups. Participants diagnosed with heel spurs will be randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the comparison group. The experimental group will receive standardized Myofascial Release sessions focusing on the plantar fascia and posterior chain musculature, followed by the application of therapeutic taping. The comparison group will receive the Myofascial Release protocol alone. Both interventions will be provided for a set duration, with sessions occurring twice per week. The study aims to investigate whether the addition of taping results in greater improvements in pain intensity, foot function, and overall disability. Outcome measures, including pain scales and functional assessment tools, will be assessed at baseline and at the conclusion of the treatment period. The trial will be carried out at clinics in Lahore to ensure standardized procedures and consistent delivery across sessions.

Våben og indgreb

Deltagergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Myofascial Release with Clinical Taping
Participants in this arm will receive a combination of myofascial release therapy and clinical taping. Myofascial release will be applied to the plantar fascia and the posterior chain muscles. Following the manual therapy, clinical taping (such as Kinesiology tape or rigid tape, depending on your specific protocol) will be applied to the affected foot to provide mechanical support and proprioceptive feedback. Sessions will be conducted twice weekly.
Andet: Myofascial Release with Clinical Taping
Participants will receive a 45-minute intervention session. The integrated components consist of manual myofascial release techniques followed by the application of clinical taping to the affected foot.
Andre navne:
  • Group A Intervention
Aktiv komparator: Myofascial Release Alone
Participants in this arm will receive the standardized myofascial release protocol only. The therapy will target the plantar fascia and surrounding soft tissues to reduce restrictions and pain. No clinical taping or additional manual interventions will be applied. Sessions will be conducted twice weekly to match the frequency of the experimental group
Andet: Myofascial Release Alone
Participants will receive the same 30 minutes of specialized myofascial release (MFR) manual therapy targeting the plantar fascia and calf musculature. No clinical taping will be applied. Sessions will be conducted twice weekly to ensure a consistent treatment frequency with the experimental group.

  • Group B Intervention

Hvad måler undersøgelsen?

Primære resultatmål

Resultatmål
Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Pain Intensity
Tidsramme: Baseline and 4 weeks post-intervention.
Pain intensity will be measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), where participants mark their pain level on a 100mm line ranging from "no pain" (0) to "worst imaginable pain" (100). Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity.
Baseline and 4 weeks post-intervention.

Sekundære resultatmål

Resultatmål
Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Foot Function
Tidsramme: Baseline and 4 weeks
The FFI will be used to assess changes in foot related functional limitations. The FFI evaluates pain, disability, and activity restriction related to foot conditions. Scores range 0 to 100, with high scores indicating greater impairment. This outcome will determine the improvement in functional ability following 4 weeks of Myofascial Release with or without taping.
Baseline and 4 weeks
Disability level
Tidsramme: Baseline and 4 weeks
The Disability subscale of the Foot Function index will measure the degree to which heel pain affects daily activities, including walking, standing, and mobility tasks. The score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher values reflecting greater disability. This outcome will evaluate the reduction in functional disability after the intervention period.
Baseline and 4 weeks
