Effects of High Load Strength Training With and Without Tissue Specific Planter Facia Stretching With Planter Fasciitis

Effects of High Load Strength Training With and Without Tissue Specific Planter Facia Stretching Exercise on Pain Range of Motion and Functional Disability Among the Athletes With Planter Fasciitis

The rationale behind examining the synergistic impacts of high load strength training and tissues pecific plantar fascia stretching activities in athletes diagnosed with plantar fasciitis arises from an acknowledged deficiency in the existing body of scholarly research.Study design will be Randomized Control Trial. The study will be completed in 10 months after Synopsis Approval.The study will be carried in sports clubs of MOTH Mirpur AJK. Convenient Sampling will be used. Data Collection Tools will be used named as VAS, Functional foot index (FFI), and Goniometry used for Pain, functional disability and range of motion will be measured respectively before and after the intervention

Population is divided into 2 groups: Group A and Group B. Both groups will be given a patient evaluation sheet and thickness of planter fascia will be already measured by Ultrasound. Group A will then receive high load strength training and routine physiotherapy. Group B will receive high load strength training and Tissue-specific plantar fascia stretching exercise and routine physiotherapy. Pain, range of motion and functional disability will be measured before session, immediate effect after first session, then after 06 weeks (18 session) with high load strength training maximum repetition 12 RM with 3 sets in alternative days in each set minimum 2 mint rest interval and tissue specific plantar fascia stretching exercise perform for 10 times for 10 sec, after 12 weeks (36 sessions) with high load strength training maximum repetition 10 RM with 4 sets in alternative days in each set minimum 2 mint rest interval tissue specific plantar fascia stretching exercise perform for 10 times for 10 sedate will be entered and analyzed by SPSS version 21. Statistical significance will be p=0.05 Descriptive statistics: Frequency tables, pie charts, bar charts will be used.
