Effects of Graston Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization in Patients With Chronic Plantar Fasciitis.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Exercise + Graston. and exercise only for Plantar Fascitis. Completed, enrolled 66 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
study was conducted to check the effectiveness of graston on patients with chronic plantar fasciitis. After screening from inclusion exclusion criteria.Data will be randomly divided in two groups. Graston assisted release of plantar fascia is used for soft tissue mobilization. Pain level using NPRS, score on FADI and dorsiflexion restriction using LUNGE test will be performed before any treatment.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
In graston + exercises treatment will be same but after exercises added with proper application of graston which included application of a cream to the posterior calf and plantar foot from the knee to the toes to reduce friction on the skin.The Graston tools will be then used to mobilize the tissues of the triceps surae and plantar foot. In areas of increased tissue restriction, more aggressive pressure with graston was applied using increased force and shorter strokes over the areas of restrictionIce was offered as needed for pain management after each session. This will be continued for three sessions. NPRS score, score on FADI and dorsiflexors range will be assessed after treatment of two weeks. Along with conventional treatment. .
