Detaljert beskrivelse
This randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Ghurki Trust and Teaching Hospital and Jinnah Hospital, Lahore.
The study will target pregnant females aged 18 to 40 years who are clinically diagnosed with plantar fasciitis using the Windlass test.
Exclusion criteria include a history of ankle or foot fracture or surgery within the past six months, as well as any neurological deficits.
A total of 52 participants will be recruited using the non-probability convenience sampling technique and randomly assigned into two equal groups.
Participants in both groups will receive the same baseline treatment.
Group A will receive Deep Transverse Friction Massage (DTFM), while Group B will receive Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization Techniques (IASTMT).
The study aims to compare the effectiveness of these two manual therapy techniques on pain intensity, disability, and functional capacity.
The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) will be used to assess pain levels.
Disability will be evaluated using the Foot Function Index (FFI), and the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) will be employed to measure functional capacity.
Data collected from participants will be entered and statistically analyzed using SPSS version 21 to determine the comparative effectiveness of the two treatment approaches in managing plantar fasciitis during pregnancy.

|---|---|
|
Eksperimentell: DEEP TRANSVERSE FRICTION MASSAGE
Deep friction massage (DFM), also known as cross friction massage, is a specific connective tissue massage
|
12 sessions total (approx.1 and half month) and 2 sessions per week with mild to moderate manual pressure.
15 - 20 min per session will be given to patient for 6 weeks
|
|
Eksperimentell: INSTRUMENT ASSISTED SOFT TISSUE MOBILIZATION TECHNIQUES
ASTM techniques involve the use of specialized instruments to manipulate soft tissue structures.
These instruments are designed to provide an efficient detection of soft tissue dysfunction and accurate application of force during treatment.

• 12 sessions total, (approximately 1 and half month) and 2 sessions per week.
Low to moderate pressure with tool will applied for 15 - 20 min per session for 6 weeks

Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
Tidsramme: 6th week
|
The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) was employed to evaluate pain intensity for all participants in both groups prior to and following the 8-week intervention program.
This is 11-point (0-10) self-reporting tool is presented as a 10-cm horizontal line where 0 indicates no pain, 1-3 signifies mild pain, 4-6 represents moderate pain, and 7-10 denotes severe pain.
The maximum value corresponds to the worst pain, while the minimum value indicates the absence of pain.

Foot Function Index (FFI)
Tidsramme: 6th week
|
A Foot Function Index (FFI) was developed to measure the impact of foot pathology on function in terms of pain, disability and activity restriction.
The FFI is a self-administered index consisting of 23 items divided into 3 sub-scales.
Both total and sub-scale scores are produced.

6 min walk test (6MWT)
Tidsramme: 6th week

used to determine functional ability.
The individual walked swiftly for six minutes along a 100-foot hallway, recording the distance travelled in total.
If a person with plantar fasciitis has pain or discomfort in the foot during the test, it can suggest the presence of the condition.
During the 6-minute walk test, look for indicators of plantar fasciitis as follows.
