“…According to Tandel and Shukla (2) , fascia and connective tissues often move with little constraint under normal circumstances. Fascial tissue length and suppleness are hypothesised to diminish as a result of physical damage, repetitive strain injury, and inflammation, leading to fascial constriction.…”

“…In many cases, the discomfort goes away after a few steps and throughout the day, but it comes back if vigorous or extended weight-bearing exercise is done. Although the heel pain may begin as widespread or migratory, it eventually tends to centre in the medial tuberosity of the calcaneum (2) .…”

Background: Heel discomfort and incapacity are symptoms of plantar fasciitis (PF), an inflammatory disorder of the thick tissue (plantar fascia) near the base of the foot. Objective: To compare between high-power pain threshold ultrasound and myofascial release techniques in treatment of patient with chronic planter fasciitis. Patients and Methods: Sixty subjects from both sex with age ranged from 40-60 years old were recruited. They were assigned randomly and equally in three groups. Group (A): received intrinsic muscle strengthening plantar fascia stretching. Group (B): received treatment of Group (a) and myofascial release. Group (C): received treatment of Group (a) and high-power pain threshold ultrasound. Each group received 4 weeks treatment three sessions per week. Results: MANOVA was conducted to investigate the effect of treatment within groups, and it revealed significant decrease in mean value of pain and, significant increase in mean value of ankle dorsiflexion (p = 0.001). Post-hoc test was conducted between groups, and it revealed that compared to other groups, Group (b) had significant increase in mean value of ankle dorsiflexion (p = 0.001), while, Group (b) and Group (c) had significant decrease in mean value of pain (p = 0.001). Conclusion: Conventional treatment, myofascial release treatment, high power pain threshold ultrasound, were effective at decreasing pain and increasing dorsiflexion ROM, with superiority of myofascial release to increase dorsiflexion ROM and of myofascial release (MFR) and high-power pain threshold ultrasound (HPPTUS) to decrease pain intensity.

“…It has been reported that, in addition to the restriction of physical activities in individuals due to the pain that occurs due to this disease, individuals are negatively affected both socially and psychologically due to these problems, and their quality-of-life decreases (12). On the other hand, PF has a negative impact on various aspects of the individual's ADL, as well as on sports and leisure time (especially active recreational activities) activities (13,14). As well as our knowledge, there was no study that examines on relationship between quality of life and activity performance and satisfaction levels in ADL in individuals with PF.…”

Aim: Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a disease that negatively affects quality of life (QOL) and activities of daily living and is the most common cause of heel pain. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between QOL, perceived activity performance and satisfaction in adults with PF and to determine the activities that have problems in daily living. Materials and Methods: A total of 96 participants, 26 male and 70 female, aged between 18-65 years, with a mean age of 53.88±6.41 years diagnosed with PF completed the study. The Nottingham Health Profile was used to determine the QOL, the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure was used to determine the perceived activity performance and satisfaction level. Results: The findings show the perceived activity performance and satisfaction levels of individuals with PF are negatively related to pain and energy levels, which are sub-dimensions of QOL (p=0.001; p=0.017; p=0.001; p=0.018). Moreover, it has been determined individuals have problems in many activities, such as walking, working, going up and down stairs, housecleaning and sleeping. Conclusion: This study showed the QOL of individuals with PF decreases as activity performance and satisfaction level decrease. Pain is one of the most important factors affecting activity performance, and recurrent and increasing pain with activity may have limited activity participation in individuals with PF. Therefore, pain should be considered as a priority in the evaluation and intervention plans of individuals with PF. Also, activity-based intervention plans should be developed for activities where these individuals have problems in daily living.

“…Satish C pant et al conducted a comparative study on the effect of Myofascial Release And Stretching Exercises on plantar fasciitis and found that both myofascial release and stretching exercises are effective in treating patients with plantar fasciitis27 . Another study was done by P Sivasankar to find out effect of ultrasound therapy and Myofascial Release on pain and function in patients with plantar fasciitis and concluded that both ultrasound therapy and myofascial release is effective on pain and function in patients with plantar fasciitis28 . Heni Ishwarlal Tandel and Yagna Unmesh Shukla did a evidenced based study to find out effect of Myofascial Release Technique in plantar fasciitis on pain and function.…”

Plantar Fasciitis (PF) is a common cause of heel pain which occurs mostly due to weight-bearing, standing occupation, injury to the heel of foot. It is often characterized by progressive pain with weight-bearing, especially the first few steps in the morning often persisting for months. Present literatures provides management strategies for this musculoskeletal issue, where different protocols were studied for their effectiveness. Myofascial release technique, plantar fascia stretching, ultrasound therapy, etc were all proven to be effective in the management of PF, but there exists very little evidence that studied the combined effects of the different physical interventions. Therefore the main objective of the study was to determine the effects of the MFR technique in combination with stretching for patients with plantar fasciitis and to find out whether this combination of interventions proved better than MFR alone. 30 subjects participated and were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=15). Group- A (control) received Myofascial Release Technique and Group B (experimental) received Myofascial Release Technique with stretching technique. Both the groups received Ultrasound therapy as a common modality. All the subjects of both groups were assessed by the Visual Analog Scale and Foot Function Index of ankle joints before and after receiving treatment. The data was analyzed statistically by using paired t-test and independent t-test. In the comparison of both groups, it was found out that the mean values of VAS (t= 4.25) and FFI (t= 4.53) of the experimental group (Group B) was highly significant (p=0.00) which concluded that Myofascial Release Technique with stretching technique is more effective in Plantar fasciitis management than only Myofascial Release Technique. From this study, conclusions could be made that in the management of Plantar fasciitis the Myofascial Release Technique with stretching technique was more precise and beneficial than only MFR technique in relieving pain and increasing functional ability.
