Dr. S. Subbiah

Abstract :

 

Aim of this study was to compare the self stretching and ultra sound for plantar fasciitis. For this purpose twenty (N=20) planter fasciitis patients were selected as subjects.  Based on the treatment duration the group was divided into two groups of ten each, group–I was treated Self–stretching Exercise for Plantar fascia and group–II was treated with ultra sound. Both groups were treated for a period of one week. Pain was measured before and after the treatment through numerical pain rating scale (NPRS).  The data obtained from the experimental groups before and after the treatment period were statistically analyzed with Students ‘t’ test.  The results of the study found both Self–stretching Exercise and ultra sound treatment effective in pain of Plantar fascia relief. But the patient treated with ultra sound showed better pain relief then patients who received ultra sound treatment.
