To compare the effectiveness subtalar mobilization with mulligan technique on pain and functional limitations versus conventional physiotherapy in patients with Planter Fasciitis
Design
Two arm parallel group randomised trial with blinded postoperative care and outcome assessment
Settings and conduct
The data was collected from Prime Care Hospital, Faisalabad. The patients were divided into two groups by using card allocation method. In group-A patients were treated with subtalar mobilization with Mulligan Technique and in group-B patients were treated with Convention physiotherapy treatment that were include a session of therapeutic Ultrasound for 10 minutes. Patients in both the groups received rigid tapping as standard treatment. Each Patient receives two treatment sessions per week with maximum eight treatment sessions over the period of 3 weeks.
