Effects of Foot-Core Strengthening and Sensorimotor Re-training With Routine Physical Therapy on Pain, Function, and Plantar Pressure in Patients With Plantar Fasciitis.

9 juli 2026 uppdaterad av: Lahore University of Biological and Applied Sciences

This study aims to compare the effects of foot core strengthening and sensorimotor re-training, each combined with routine physical therapy, on pain, functional ability, and plantar pressure in patients with Plantar Fasciitis.

Participants will be divided into two groups: one receiving foot core strengthening with routine physical therapy and the other receiving sensorimotor re-training with routine physical therapy. The study will evaluate which intervention is more effective in reducing pain, improving function, and normalizing plantar pressure distribution.

Detaljerad beskrivning

Plantar Fasciitis is a common musculoskeletal disorder characterized by heel pain, reduced functional capacity, and altered plantar pressure distribution. It is often associated with overuse, poor biomechanics, and weakness of intrinsic foot muscles.

Routine physical therapy management includes stretching exercises ( plantar fascia and calf stretching), strengthening, manual therapy, and physical modalities. However, recent rehabilitation approaches emphasize the importance of intrinsic muscle strengthening and sensorimotor control.

This study is designed to compare two active rehabilitation approaches combined with routine physical therapy:

Group A: Foot Core Strengthening + Routine Physical Therapy

Participants in this group will receive:

Intrinsic foot muscle strengthening exercises ( short foot exercise, toe curls) Routine physical therapy (stretching, manual therapy, modalities) This approach aims to improve medial longitudinal arch support, enhance foot stability, and reduce mechanical stress on the plantar fascia.

Group B: Sensorimotor Re-training + Routine Physical Therapy

Participants in this group will receive:

Sensorimotor and proprioceptive training ( balance exercises, unstable surface training) Routine physical therapy (stretching, manual therapy, modalities) This approach focuses on improving neuromuscular control, proprioception, and dynamic stability of the foot and ankle.

Deltagargrupp / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Experimentell: Group A: Foot Core Strengthening with Routine Physical Therapy
Participants in this group will receive foot core strengthening exercises targeting intrinsic foot muscles along with routine physical therapy including stretching, manual therapy, and physical modalities for management of Plantar Fasciitis.
Övrig: Foot Core Strengthening with Routine Physical Therapy

Participants will receive a structured foot core strengthening program targeting intrinsic foot muscles, including exercises such as short foot exercise, toe curls, toe spreading, and marble pickup. These exercises aim to improve medial longitudinal arch stability and reduce stress on the plantar fascia.

In addition, routine physical therapy will be provided, including plantar fascia stretching, gastrocnemius-soleus stretching, manual therapy techniques, and appropriate physical modalities. Sessions will be conducted 3-5 times per week for a duration of 4-8 weeks, along with a prescribed home exercise program.
Experimentell: Group B: Sensorimotor Re-training with Routine Physical Therapy
Participants in this group will receive sensorimotor and proprioceptive training along with routine physical therapy including stretching, manual therapy, and physical modalities for management of Plantar Fasciitis.
Övrig: Sensorimotor Re-training with Routine Physical Therapy

Participants will receive a structured sensorimotor re-training program focusing on proprioception, balance, and neuromuscular control. Exercises will include single-leg stance, balance training on stable and unstable surfaces, wobble board exercises, and gait training.

Routine physical therapy will also be provided, including plantar fascia stretching, gastrocnemius-soleus stretching, manual therapy techniques, and appropriate physical modalities. Sessions will be conducted 3-5 times per week for a duration of 4-8 weeks, along with a prescribed home exercise program.

Vad mäter studien?

Primära resultatmått

Resultatmått
Åtgärdsbeskrivning
Tidsram
Pain Intensity
Tidsram: Baseline and at the end of 4-8 weeks of intervention
Pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), where participants rate their heel pain during first steps in the morning and during activity. It is a reliable tool to measure pain severity in patients with Plantar Fasciitis.
Baseline and at the end of 4-8 weeks of intervention

Tidsram
Plantar Pressure Distribution
Tidsram: Baseline and at the end of 4-8 weeks of intervention
Plantar pressure will be measured using a pressure analysis system to evaluate changes in load distribution across different regions of the foot during standing and walking.
Baseline and at the end of 4-8 weeks of intervention
Foot Function
Tidsram: Baseline and at the end of 4-8 weeks of intervention
Functional ability will be evaluated using the Foot Function Index (FFI), which assesses pain, disability, and activity limitation related to foot conditions.
