“…And it was also noticed that in individuals with pronated feet type the foot kinematic can get alter due to shortening of the iliotibial band (2). Abnormal pronation at the subtalar joint may result in excessive internal rotation of the entire lower leg during weight-bearing, putting additional strain on the kinetic chain (1,3). Excessive pronation increases ground response IT Band and Heel Pain force on the medial aspect of the foot and the medial longitudinal arch.…”

Background. Plantar heel pain (PHP) is a degenerative plantar fascia syndrome that causes irritation under the heel and a functional deformity during weight bearing. Myofascial involvement, along with biomechanical changes due to tight fibrous connections, seems to contribute to this condition. As there is a fascial connection between plantar fascia, and iliotibial band, trigger points in the myofascial chain including iliotibial band can interfere with biomechanical modifications and aberrant lower limb functioning. The study aimed at establishing the associating iliotibial band (ITB) trigger points in plantar heel pain patients. Methods. The study included 30 individuals with plantar heel pain of both genders. They were assessed by foot posture index (FPI) for the foot type and manually palpated for trigger points along the Iliotibial band on both the affected and unaffected side. Results. The results revealed 73% prevalence of iliotibial band trigger points in plantar heel pain patients. And there was a significant association was found between trigger points and plantar heel pain (p < 0.001). Conclusions. The current investigation found an association between the existence of iliotibial band trigger points and plantar heel pain. So, addressing the iliotibial band trigger points may help in reducing pain and discomfort in plantar heel pain individuals.

Purpose: This study sought to study the effects of cross-legged sitting posture on joint motion. It also examined the correlation between the changes in the joint range of motion, musculoskeletal symptoms, and facial asymmetry. Methods: The Acumar Digital Inclinometer (Lafayette Instrument Company, USA) was used to measure the range of motion (ROM). We measured the flexion and extension of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine using a dual inclinometer, and measured the ROM of the shoulder and hip joint with a single inclinometer. The Likert scale questionnaire was used to investigate musculoskeletal symptoms and facial asymmetry. Results: The data analysis was performed using the Jamovi version 1.6.23 statistical software. After confirming the normality of the ROM with descriptive statistics, it was compared with the normal ROM through a one-sample t-test. Correlation matrix analysis was performed to confirm the association between facial asymmetry and musculoskeletal symptoms. The result of the one-sample t-test showed a significant increase in the thoracic spine extension and right and left hip external rotation (p< 0.001***), while most other joints were restricted. As per the frequency analysis, facial asymmetry was found to be 81.70%. Conclusion:The independent variable, namely cross-legged sitting posture led to an increase in ROM. The study also suggests that facial asymmetry and musculoskeletal symptoms could occur. Therefore, to prevent the increase and limitation of ROM and to prevent the occurrence of facial asymmetry and musculoskeletal symptoms, it is suggested that the usual cross-legged sitting posture should be avoided.
