About this study
Official title: "Effects of Kinesio Taping in Adjunct to Traditional Physical Therapy on Pain, Range of Motion and Gait Parameters in Patients With Plantar Fascitis : a Randomized Controlled Trail"
THIS STUDY IS A RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIAL AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY IS TO DETERMINE THE EFFECTS OF KINESIO TAPING ON GAIT PARAMETERS IN PATIENTS WITH PLANTAR FASCITIS
Read the detailed description
The purpose of this study is to determine the difference between efffects of KInesio taping combined with traditional physical versus physical therapy alone.
The individual of Age 20-40 years among both genders and are diagnosed cases of plantar fasciitis Pain levels will be assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). ROM will be assessed through goniometry. Gait parameters will be assessed through 30 meter walk test. Participants of interest would be approached and explained about the research. Informed written consent will be taken. It is a single-blinded study and randomization will be done through coin toss method. Both groups will receive conventional intervention. Additionally, Group B will receive kinesio taping treatment. Baseline and post intervention scores would be recorded for both groups.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Traditional Physical TherapyOther
- TENS+cold pack (For 10 mins on plantar ascpect of foot)
- Stretching exercises (5 repetition 2 sets/day) Standing calf stretch Seated plantar fascia stretch Plantar fascia massage Achilles stretch Frozen can roll Towel stretch
KinesiotapingOther
In the first step, after the metatarsophalangeal joints is dorsiflexed, the first strap will be adhered firmly to the posterior heel at its proximal end. The other end of the strap is cut into four slices of equal width. Each slice is applied with a 50% stretch (50% tensile strain) and attached to the plantar forefoot. In the second step, another strap is applied with gentle compression across the bases of the four slices beneath the foot and wrapped around the rearfoot

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pain Intensity
Pain is assessed by using numeric main rating scale comparing pre and post pain intensity. This is 11- point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g., "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme
Measured: 2 weeks
Range of Motion at ankle joint
Goniometer will be used to measure the pre and post treatment ranges of dorsiflexion and plantar flexion of ankle in supine and sitting positions.
Measured: 2 weeks
Cadence (steps/min)
Will asses gait parameters through 30 meters walk test. steps counted x 60 / time (s)
Measured: 2 weeks
Cycle time (s)
Will asses gait parameters through 30 meters walk test. time (s) x 2/steps counted
Measured: 2 weeks
Gait speed
Will asses gait parameters through 30 meters walk test. Distance (m) /time (s)
Measured: 2 weeks
Stride length(m)
Will asses gait parameters through 30 meters walk test. speed (m/s) x cycle time (s)
Measured: 2 weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Traditional Physical Therapy and Kinesiotaping in people with Plantar Fascitis, run by Foundation University Islamabad at 1 site in Pakistan.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Pakistan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Fatima Shakeel, MS-MSKPT* (03255784552, shakeefatima@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Pain Intensity (time frame: 2 weeks). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Aug 2024.
